Seb: It is the same as Patcha. I didn't know it either and they just informed me on this Forum that it's the same as Patcha. Do you know Patcha?

 

Anyway, it is a DELICIOUS culinary experience especially for some of my wonderful brothers on this Forum.

 

It is made with the stomach or the 'dodich' or the head of the cow.

 

Ohh ok. Nope I've never heard of it. I'm parskahye (maybe that explains why) LoL anywayz I'll be sure to tell my parents about it, try and make them buy it :P

Mknapur

 

ingredients

24 mice

1 liter car oil, preferred burned

1 kg onion klep

1 kg ground bon, preferred cat's

 

procedure

 

wash the mice thoroughly and add them to a large bowl...

add water, such that water covers the nice mi-erku mat...

close the bowl, put on the fire and let it boil...

once it starts boiling, open the bowl and let it boil for 10 minutes...

afterwards, drain the water, wash the nice and put back in the bowl...

add the car oil and stir with hand so the oil "eat" the mice...

let it "relax" for 10 minutes... and put the bowl back on fire...

after 5 minutes of cooking, add the ground bon and stir...

keep stirring for the next 20 minutes...

after 20 minutes of cooking it is done...

add other ingredients as needed (nuts and bolts, dog poop, clean dust, salt and paper, etc...) and stir...

take the whole substance out of the bowl and put in a pan...

decorate with onion klep...

enjoy...

sSebb jan dont listen to Azat ( he is a vaggie), xash is the best food there is, it has its roots in Guymri, just ask your dad about it then invite me Movses and Sip

I always thought xash was made with lamb shanks - and not beef. I'm not too sure - but I don't think you have to use the stomach or head either. Anyway it's been a very very long time since someone has made me xash...

Xash is great! It's poem-worthy.

 

Vardan Petrosian has a song about it... can't find the lyrics online... but a bit from memory...

It's very popular among the Persians too. There's a restaurant down here that serves it on Sundays-- Darband. It runs out in a couple of hours. I think xash and kale ***** are the same thing-- there may be some minor differences, but thats to be expected because of the different cuisine of the regions.

Where do you live?

 

Apparently it takes like 6 hours to cook.

Really? It takes 6 hours? Well, maybe restaurants have different resources that allow them to cook it faster-- or maybe not. If it takes 6 hours, I dunno how they do it. Or maybe they cook it a different way. There's no impressive presentation or anything; all there is on the plate is cooked brain, eyes, and tongue on bits of beef with its stew. I haven't had proper xash before, so I couldn't tell you the difference.
