And yes MosJan. We saw you on the stage singing Amot Qez Mossi. The highlight of our stay was to see Anush . Another story…

We also drove past the Musa Ler monument several times, yet I did not see the huge boiling pots of Harisa. Maybe I should go back in September. Will you go with us to show us what each hatik means ?

As a rule I don’t eat breakfast except when in Yerevan.

How can one resist the daily obligatory spread of hot and cold delicacies. All the way from khorvats* gartophiil, sunk and others. Of course there also would be hot and cold meats of various kinds but my hands would automatically go to the delcious varunk, lolik, haykakan panir, matsun, and assortment of preserved fruits like figs, walnuts, cherries, and… don’t forget tsiran. Drinks like orange juice, (who cares?), tsirani yev/kam deghtsi hyut.

Now, here is the test.

What is the Armenian word for “ham” and “sour cream”?

 

* We have spoken about this word in re “khavurma” and concluded that it is an Armenian word as “khaurma/khorma(note that “au” is as in O as in khaurovats/khorovats, from “kharel=to sear to burn..

Armenian food is very delicious, but for international travelers there can be a problem ... loots! My experience is that the most suspect culprit is the kebabs sold by street vendors and restaurants. Ground meat is risky. I wrote about my loots sufferings at Armenian Food Blog.

 

My Hye friends and family gave me pomegranate juice, mint-leaf tea, plain boiled rice, but I was still making "runs" to the bathroom. But later I found out that American food had a similar effect on Armenians.

 

So what are the traditional Armenian cures for "the trots" that work?

You should also try swallowing a teaspoonful of coffee with a few drops of lemon. You should not have blood pressure and similar conditions when doing that. You might also try roasted chickpeas (although they are supposed to give you constipation, I'm not sure if it works for loose stools as well). Alternately you might try fasting on lavash and water for a day - a day of only water the first day, then followed by lavash the second might work in extreme cases. Remember that if it is a bug, you want to get it out of your system quickly, so keeping what's inside is not necessarily the healthies - you want to fibre it out.

You might want to avoid street kebabs in the summer.

Chick peas, and dishes based on chick peas (like hummus) have always had the opposite effect on me (more like a laxative than what you describe). A little chick pea salad, and the whole system is cleaned out. :P Perhaps it's different if they're roasted?

 

How're you doin' there Storms?

Vava Jan it's the tahini in the hummus that does the laxative thing not the chick peas.:)
