Sedrak Mamulyan: Armenian cuisine was most systematizedOctober 14, 2010 - 16:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Head of Development and Maintenance of Armenian Culinary Traditions NGO, Chef of Ararat restaurant Sedrak Mamulyan said that conversations about poverty of the Armenian cuisine are a myth. The Armenian cuisine was the most systematized one and even developed for 365 days of the year with consideration of climatic changes, Mamulyan told a press conference on October 14. He added that Armenia’s neighbors, and not only neighbors, are appropriating Armenian traditional dishes. Mamulyan also noted that the entire system of Armenians’ meals has changed during the Soviet rule. However, according to ethnographer Ruzan Tsaturyan, Armenians have started using traditional food since the country regained independence, what is a result of two factors. “First, people started using the products produced by themselves. Second, it is the patriotic attitude of people, who try to eat traditional meal,” Tsaturyan said.
