“ARMENIAN PICKLES, CHEESE AND PEPPER SHOULD BE KNOWN WORLDWIDE”

[MosJan]

• "My impressions are very good, but at the same time rather contradictory. I see and rejoice at the quality of our food and manufactured products, but at the same time I wonder why this high quality is not wide-spread all over the world. The Government should do its best to help Armenian manufacturers sell their products in different corners of the world," Serzh Sargsyan said at the Armprodexpo-2008 international exhibition of agricultural products.

   

  Today Serzh Sargsyan walked about the pavilions of Armenian agricultural products for two hours.

   

  Accompanied by Minister of Agriculture Aramayis Grigoryan, Serzh Sargsyan stopped at each pavilion, talked to representatives of the participant companies and tasted Armenian cognac, wine, cheese, meat and pickles.

   

  "We should try to create new brands like the Armenian cognac, which is popular all over the world, the Armenian apricot, sheep cheese, goat cheese and other tasty foodstuffs," Serzh Sargsyan said.

   

  One of the exhibition participants was "Golden Goat," a leading cheese-producing company in Vayots Dzor. Today the company exports more than 60 per cent of its production. 40 per cent is sold in Armenia. According to the company representatives, Russia's Foreign Minister prefers their cheese.

   

  Note, the 8th international exhibition of the Armproexpo -2008 kicked off on November 11 and will continue till November 14. The exhibition has been organised with the support of the Agrobusiness Development Centre CJSC. Note that more than 60 companies participate in the exhibition.

My only wish is that Pres. Sargisian would have brought a big dump truck to dump all those so called "armenian cookbooks" where there is not a word in Armenian except "dolma ,sarma and basturma"????. Burn them. It will provide Armenia several years' worth of fuel.

I wish he would urge his compatriots and farmers to get over the lowest tech of lo-tech, and instead of selling their grapes to the alcohol factory, (do Armenians know chemistry other than the manufacture of alcohol?), learn how to process them to a saleable form. Look at the Raisin Industry of Fresno. Not to forget that the most popular dried apricots in America are a product of……you guessed it, furkey/Kilikia!! Learn how to produce an arsenic free bottled water. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=15591&hl=jermuk

Or, is arsen to arsenic, khaghogh/khalol to alcohol a symbol of macho?

I can never forget, nor can I forgive myself, when an odar friend, who knew the connection of Apricots and Armenia so triumphantly and lovingly gave me a can of the following, and when I broke their heart when I showed them where it was produced.
