NATIONAL CUISINE
Must-Try
Harissa
Harissa is a ritual and festive dish with deep national roots, which is prepared on solemn days as a symbol of unity, abundance and prosperity. The dish is prepared with wheat groats and meat (chicken, lamb or beef), which are cooked for a long time in water, constantly stirring with a wooden paddle, until it becomes a viscous mass. When serving, melted butter is poured over harissa. This composition is associated with the worship of wheat as a symbol of life and the longevity of the nation. According to tradition, when Gregory the Illuminator leaves Khor Virap and comes to Vagharshapat, he decides to organize a feast, that is, to invite and entertain the people gathered around the church. To prepare the dish, he slaughters sheep and calls on the young people to knead the food: “Knead this.” From this expression, the name “harissa” originated.

Discover the Unique World of Armenian Beer
Armenia is best known for its brandy and wine culture, however, in recent years, the country has also been rapidly developing a craft beer culture, which is becoming a new interesting direction for both locals and tourists.
Beer production in Armenia has an ancient history. As early as the 5th century BC, the Greek philosopher Xenophon, in his work “Anabasis”, describes how he saw barley drink stored in clay vessels in one of the villages of Ancient Armenia. He says: “Wheat, barley and barley drink were stored in clay vessels. Barley grains floated in the drink, and reeds were stuck in the upper part of the vessel, through which people drank the drink. The beer, not mixed with water, was very strong, but it was pleasant and loved by the locals.” This evidence proves that beer has been known in Armenian culture for thousands of years.
