World-Bites (91) / Losh Kebab
Armenia, a part of the erstwhile Soviet Union, had been dominated by many nations, due to its strategic location. Among the greatest empires that once controlled Armenia, the most important were those of the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, Persians and Mongols. The Armenian cuisine has been influenced by these nations. Armenians use a great variety of ingredients in their traditional dishes. Fish, diverse types of meats and numerous sorts of fruits and vegetables, combined with also a great number of condiments, lead to the uniqueness of the Armenian cuisine, both in taste and in look. The Armenians appreciate very much the snacks. Lamb is an essential ingredient in this case. Losh Kebab ( lamb-burger) is evidence of this fact.
