The avatar picture is actually the vegetable dish's picture; but I copied the best I could.

 

MARINATED VEGETABLE SALAD

 

1 cup corn

1 cup peas

1/3 cup finely chopped celery

1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1 jar(2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1-1/2 teaspoons French salad dressing

 

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the sugar, vinegar, oil and salad dressing. Pour over vegetable mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

Yield: 2-3 servings.

 

:)

 

@Edward: I don't believe what Edward said about you and Harut, that you guys give a bad name to the Armenian guys. No no no....I don't believe that. :no:

Anahid jan, thank you for standing up for noble people like Harut and I. Edward is just jealous of our great looks. :)

Azat jan, I think he's just plain jealous, that's what. Not because he's less good looking, no; but because he's jealous. ;)

 

Forget it Azat: Edo said it was all a joke. :P I believe him. :D

Is there such a thing as Armenian food? I mean, is there a food/drink item that is particularly Armenian, without it also existing in other cultures? I can't think of anything.

 

Does basturma qualify?

No Shiner,

I am sad to say there is no such thing as Arnenian food.

Remember?

We are the "Starving Armenians"?

We never prepared, neither did we eat any Armenian dish.

Dolma? Turkish. Sarma? Turkish. Basturma? Turkish. Imam bayuldi? Turkish. Harisah? Lebanese /Arabic. Shish Kebab? Turkish.

Need I say more?

If we were to stick to strictly Armenian cuisine? We would surely earn the title of;

 

STARVING ARMENIAN

 

If we had a scintilla of national pride we would have our own khohanots, instead of advertising other peoples' recipes, much less Turkish.

If those idiots who publish those so caled Armenian Cookbooks would only forget their TurkArmenan heritage and start speaking Armenian, maybe then we would have an Armenia Kitchen rather than Turkakan Mutbakh.

Until then I woud rather starve than eat dolma, sarma and shish kebab.

Whatever happened to "lits", 'terev" "apukht" and "khorovats" among others??

Do we remember that ancient and extinct language known as Armenian?

Or shall we give up and start writing poetry in Turkish too!!

Do you think that's funny?

What is funny about our cookbooks being all Turkish and Arabic?

We have Armenian words for those if we would only stop speaking that MQ Turkish and start learning our own Mesropian kanguage instead.

What is even more disgusting is that our "Churches", they might as well be known as "Armenian Mosques" advertise those Armenian delicacies with their disgusting Turkish names.

:lol: :lol: .

 

I had the exact same thing in mind - That if I were to begin eating only Armenian foods, I would starve to death, not only because there are so few Armenian dishes, but because the few we do have I find disgusting, (khash being one).

 

Matsoon and Lavash = a true Armenian meal, :P .

If there is ANYTHING that drives me up the wall it's when people keep mentioning XOROVAC as Armenian. Doesn't anyone else in this world make barbeque?

 

I think we need a revolution in Armenian cooking. Lots of awesome greens and herbs in Armenia, yet everyone talks about how rich Georgian cuisine is.

 

Why do Armenians in Armenia hardly use garlic? We have thyme planted all over the country, yet how many dishes contain it? Try sprinkling thyme on barbeque, it's awesome. As soon as you use some vinegar in something local Armenians call you a turk. What the _?

 

Like I said we need to revolutionize Armenian cuisine.

 

By the way someone once told me they saw harisa in the Emirates and it had a similar name and the people there claimed it was a dish from that side of the world.

It is kind of extreme but not far from the truth. Turkic people use a lot of vinegar. Armenians very rarely. In our cousine lemon juice was a replacement for vinegar and butter had almost always had priority instead of sunflower oil.

 

Just my two golden euros :)

Unfortunately I really don't see lemon used much in Armenia, maybe because they are a little expensive, and lots of sunflower oil used instead of butter.

 

Does anyone agree with me that Armenian cuisine should be revolutionized? Or do I have too much free time on my hands to think of such a stupid idea.

 

One other thing I'm sick of is mayo. Mayo in every single tasteless salad in Armenia.

How about matnaqash bread?

 

Any proof that lavash has Armenian traces to its origin? If I heard correctly the Iranians, Georgians and other East Med countries make it too.

 

Check these disturbing links that have nothing to do with Armenia(ns)

It's alright I suppose I can just walk down the street where there is a 'poor' that makes fresh lavash, matnaqash and a big variety of other breads and see if they'll give me the recipe. ;)
