Arpa Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 We were looking over some restaurant ads. One of them featured caviar. Isked;"You know who the 'king of caviar' is don't you?" Of course not!Do we know?Click here; http://www.petrossian.com/about.cfmand here; http://www.petrossian.com/restaurant.cfmWhy did Mssrs Petrossians introduced it to the wst as caviar, khaviar,caviali?Why did Mr. Colombosian say yoghurt was a Turkish delicacy and that it was a Turkish word?You know me.I had to prove my point and disprove such (un)scholarly sources. What is caviar?http://www.caviarexpress.org/ Websters says it is Turkish;http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionaryLook what the others say. American Heritage Dic.http://www.bartleby.com/61/63/C0176300.html Why did not the Petrossians brothers introduce it as DzknDzu? See Mr. Colombosian above. Did they speak Armenian? All these happened when "Hayastani ekinq@ khavarvel er". Turqin erkinq@ piti shut khavari. BTW. What do the Russians call caviar?Note. One time I almost got to eat the Petrossian's, no luck, reservations closed. I'll try again some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harut Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 "ikra" in Russian.======== Arpa, i think more common word for it is "dzknkit". ======== Petrossian's got one good restaurant right inside Bellaggio, in Las Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted February 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Harut:"ikra" in Russian.======== Arpa, i think more common word for it is "dzknkit". ======== Petrossian's got one good restaurant right inside Bellaggio, in Las Vegas.Then why did not the Petrossian brothers use that term and instead chose the so called Turkish one? NOT!!!As to "dzknkit"(as in havkit or kovu kit/kat), I knew that but I chose "dzkndzu" not only for its poetic value but also in deference to some of our readers who are addicted to "trqahayeren" (What an oxymoron? Only second to the oxymoron of all times- "JudeoChristian"). Some may have intrpreted "dzknkit" as "dzknqit", i.e a fishe's nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamavor Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Petrossian is one of the best restaurants in New York. Very exclusively high (hye) class:) I thought that the person that invited me should refinance his house to pay the bill, but it was not such a disaster. I recommend it to anyone before filing for chapter 11:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Arpa jan, How do they decide on the prices at Petrossian. Cost times 5000 or something like that? I actually have never had food there, but have been to their store in LA. And I have to say that I have never been a fan of Caviar in general. It just does not do the trick for me.
