That being the case, Armenians (the “real” ones) don’t have any food at all. All the foods are “Akhpar” foods of western Armenia. Turks, Azeris and “genuine armos” of Armenia have one thing in common, after all… they have all copied western Armenian foods.

Consuming meat is DANGEROUS and DEADLY. Consuming meat WILL cause HEART DISEASE, CANCER and PREMATURE DEATH.I have not consumed meat in over 32 years and feel great. Trust me you DO NOT have to eat meat to survive. My diet is consist of Beans, Vegetables,Fruits, Cheese and Red Wine…HIC (Sorry). My fellow Armenians, If you wish to have a long, DISEASE FREE and Healthy lifestyle, then I suggest you do yourself a favour and STOP consuming meat, I know 120 years later you will thank me for the advice : ) . Here’s a website I want you to visit and educate yourself…it is NEVER too late:

Present cuisine in Armenia very Russian influenced. This isn’t bad per say but it has been at expense of traditional Armenian food and taste preferences. You can’t even find lamb in Armenia much anymore. Pork and beef only. Walk through Yerevan and all you’ll see as fast food is “lahmajo” (the lahmajoun imported by the akhpars) and the ubiquitous ‘shawurma’.They just opened a Pizza Hut to boot. Those olives in the photo can’t be goood unless they’re imported from Greece (Turkish ones smuggled in). Those imported under Coopoliva label are worthless. The bastourma and soujukh heaped up in store shelves at holiday time are also western Armenian. You have to get out to the remaining villages for good traditional fare.

Nice photos! I love sorrel, but I recently googled it, and it turns out that it can be toxic if eaten in big quantities.

İn armenia i always found it hard to know what was armenian or russian food. There was a lot of bad food which was lıke that in other ex-soviet countries so an idividual food culture there didnt feel very strong.

The first picture looks like a typical Russian dish known as “vinaigrette” in Armenia rather than “pickled vegetables” (though it includes pickles).

Kind of like this but without the sauerkraut: http://www.foodbuzz.com/recipes/1548155-vinaigrette-russian-salad- and here: http://windowstorussia.com/recipe-from-russia-simple-russian_01.html
