Davo0074_NL Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 It happened a lot that people have asked me what about armenian food. What do you armenians eat? I have to say that I think that I probably tried all armenian dishes but I find it hard to name them. So what`s your favorit dish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgen Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Gorovats It's not really a dish but I certainly enjoy this the most. Everybody comes around and there is this delicious meat and wodka Just wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 I definitely miss my mother's cooking. Not to mention the Khorovadz! I try to compensate by going to Greek Pita stands and Turkish Dönerbuden as they call it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo0074_NL Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 So again it proofs to be very difficult to get a normal list of Armenian food. DAVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azat Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 sarma is the vegetarian dolma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 In the case of cabbage, I prefer the veggie version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOTH Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Can't recall ever having Sarma (though its possible/likely)...but certainly am very familair with Dolma. Its funny though - I used to not like it - except for when my Grandmother made it - she used to coat in in tomato sauce and it was always very juicy. Turns out it was just my mother's version - way dry and overcooked (she cooks well in genreal - it was just her Dolma for some reason...)...anyway - i like it now...even hers...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo0074_NL Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 As far as I know Sarma is the Turkish word for Tolma. Who likes the Armenian XASH with lavash and garlic, hmmmmmmmmmmm! And ofcourse the VODKA! DAVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo0074_NL Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Dolma and Sarma are the same. But it is not Turkish. Maybe the turks eat it and the Greek too. So that`s exactly what I try to say in this topic, I want to know what is only pure armenian!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Dolma is about filling (bell peppers more often than not), sarma is about wrapping (cabbage leaves). Both come from Turkish verbs unless coincidentally there were exact predecessor words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheekY Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 mmm then yum i like sarma hehe doesn't anyone like harisa? aw now i feel hungry lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoushik Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Dolma is about filling (bell peppers more often than not), sarma is about wrapping (cabbage leaves). Both come from Turkish verbs unless coincidentally there were exact predecessor words. So "tpov dolma" is actually "sarma"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 dolma and sarma aren't the same as far as i know lol... i LOVE harisa lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo0074_NL Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Lol, Monday and wednessday Dolma, Teusday and Thursday Xorovatz, Friday Dolma but today we call it Sarma, Saturday Xash and Sunday Harisa. Hmmmm Just enough to live for the week. That@s all we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOTH Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Well we aways called it all Dolma - wether it be stuffed cabbage or ppeppers. I do prefer the cabbage varitly myslef. And DAVO - not really sure if you will find anything that you can call purly Armenian - don't know...but foods don't tend to work like that in the region...there has been much mixing and borrowing - all the way from the Balkans to Afghanistan to Egypt and everywhere in between...and wherever Armenians have been they have adopted some of the local foods - and perhaps vice versa...in the end what does it matter? It is what your family has made and likes - this is what is important - is it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maral Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hey Thoth you beat me to it,I was going to say that our foods are so mixed I really have no idea what is purely Armenian.. Someone correct me if I"m wrong...We,from Lebanon,call the rolled grape leaf sarma,while those from Iran call the same thing Dolma...right? And ours tastes better so kidding kiddies....hantardehtzehk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOTH Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 And ours tastes better Doesn't it always! ...and I'm sure yours does! I've never made Dolma myself - don't know why not - perhaps i should sometime...I'd be certain to follow grandma's recepie! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
