This is an update of my previous post after another week exploring this country.
An Armenian YouTube channel that caught my attention this week is called [Observer Channel](https://m.youtube.com/@OBSC). I just love how, anywhere in the world, there is always a guy who picks up a camera and decides to film the street of his city.
As I checked for the YouTube channel [Yerevan live camera](https://m.youtube.com/@yerevanlivestream2065) again, I noticed that there are now 3 live cams at work: in Nalbandyan Street, on Ptghni bus station, and on Orbeli street!
One of the symbols of Armenia is the pomegranate. From a Westerner perspective, it is quite a strange fruit. I’m sure if you tell someone in France or elsewhere to cut this fruit, they will be as troubled as with cutting an ananas. So I searched “Õ¯Õ¿Ö€Õ¡Õ¿Õ¥Õ¬ Õ¶Õ¸Ö‚Õ¼Õ¨” and leaned some armenian ways to open this fruit without making a total mess in the kitchen.
There seems to be a lot of sweet and sweet/savoury recipes with pomegranate, and I will give them a try at the occasion.
With the weather getting colder here, it’s all about hot things this week. I tried my own version of Karshm Õ¯Õ¡Ö€Õ·Õ´, which is a walnut-based soup with red beans, chickpeas and green beans from the town of Vaik in the Vayots Dzor province Even though I did find one recipe online, it was quite difficult to reproduce, so I made it my way.
Arganak Õ¡Ö€Õ£Õ¡Õ¶Õ¡Õ¯ is on the other hand a pretty simple soup, and I really recommend making the chicken broth yourself so that the flavours can unfold.
With Christmas coming I made some Anoushabour Õ¡Õ¶Õ¸Ö‚Õ·Õ¡Õ¢Õ¸Ö‚Ö€. The combination of the hot porridge with nuts, dried fruits, and fresh pomegranate is delicious.
As I’m listening to “Hay-Hay” by the sisters Inga and Anush Arshakyans, I would really like to visit this country if I ever got the chance. It’s quite small, but its culture is really rich, and I barely got an overview of it.
On this term, Armenia, being the first nation to adopt Christianity, I’m wishing you all a peaceful Christmas time!
