    Warum ist armenisches Manti ein so unterschätztes armenisches Gericht? Ich höre viel über Zhangyalov und Khash, aber nichts über sie. Warum?

      Well, for one Manti is barely eaten in Armenia. It’s simply not part of Eastern Armenian cuisine. In fact, I don’t know to what extent it was eaten by Western Armenians before the Genocide. Zhingyalov hats was also at some point rarely talked about, until it got popularised by Artsakh Armenians.

      But khash is ubiquitous: it is a true pan-Armenian dish.

      Soup or Tray?

      I’m a soup boy. Best Manti in the world is at Aintab in Yerevan. When I go to Yerevan, I eat it like 3 days a week.

      You’re forgetting one crucial point, with the genocide came cultural erasure as well. That means a lot of dishes that were not documented and passed on from mother to daughter were gone. These days, there is a renaissance of Armenian cuisine, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union. The separation between physical Armenia and Armenians is no longer an issue, and the reintroduction of these dishes to Armenians all over the world is underway.

      I lived in Yerevan for few years and never got this mantis. I always thought „manti“ is like Turkish Manti which is like Georgian Khinkhali. Now I have to go back

      Best dish in the world 💪

      I can chow down an oven tray full of it faster than you guys can have an argument about its origins.

      I remember my mom forcing me to eat „Manti“ she got from god knows where as a frozen meal. These were the most horrid.
      When I moved to Yerevan I was surprised to see these are somewhat hard to come by, and vast majority of people prefer Khinkali, so if someone knows a good place in Yerevan where you can get some proper Manti – let me know, but right now this word fills me up with dread

      I tried both the turkish and the armenian. I didn’t personally liked the armenian one because they out the meat too much just like in the picture and the dough used wasn’t too great. But would still prefer it over a lot of other food. Turkish one was far better imp

      Because it’s not Armenian, comes from Mantu which is dumpling in Chinese. Turks brought it back from Asia (Mongolia).

      I’ve never actually had Armenian mantı, only Turkish. What’s it like?

      I honestly had no idea we had Manti as one of our representative dishes until just recently. I was born to an Eastern Armenian-speaking family from Yerevan who grew up in Soviet times, and after we moved abroad, we’ve had tolma, xash, spas, even Georgian dishes (khinkali, xachapuri), but never ever manti. Not even zhingyalov hats…

      I think that manti has only been prevalent in the west and my dad makes it istanbul style where theres so much yogurt its basically soup

      Probably due to it being a Western Armenian dish, which is only really found in Yerevan at W-Arm Restaurants. Its also its very time-consuming to make, so not the go-to for home food, even if it does taste amazing, and it is a cultural treat of an experience eat.

      Afghans also have a fish called mantu which I’m guessing has a relation to manti 🙂 I’ve yet to try Armenian food but looks very delicious.

      I think there needs to be a new name for this dish to differentiate it from the other versions that are called the same thing but aren’t. Same with pepper dolma.

    23. Top_Recognition_1775 on

      I don’t think it’s „underrated“ at all.

      The western version is boiled and the eastern version is baked, I’ve only ever had the baked version, it’s delish.

      Calling khash „garbage food“ is heresy, it’s basically a bone broth that people eat in the cold season, you put in broken up dry bread to soak up the soup, and then use another softer bread to grab that and eat it, I’ve had it a couple of times, it’s friggin delicious.

      My mother used to make Armenian food, but I was too young to appreciate it.

      By the time my taste buds matured, she was older and couldn’t cook as much.

      These days I fiend for Armenian food and try to have it as often as possible.

      Uff I can feel the heartburn already by just looking at this picture!

      But on a serious note, absolutely delicious. հավեսս եկավ
