  • What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic? (A Case Study Of
    FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2017, NO. 13 WHAT MAKES A RESTAURANT ETHNIC? (A CASE STUDY OF ARMENIAN RESTAURANTS IN ST PETERSBURG) Evgenia Guliaeva Th e Russian Museum of Ethnography 4/1 Inzhenernaya Str., St Petersburg, Russia [email protected] A b s t r a c t: Using restaurants in St Petersburg serving Armenian cuisine as a case study, the article studies the question of what makes an ethnic restaurant ethnic, what may be learnt about ethnicity by studying a restaurant serving a national cuisine, and to what extent the image of Armenian cuisine presented in Armenian restaurants corresponds to what Armenian informants tell us. The conclusion is that the composition of the menu in these restaurants refl ects a view of Armenian cuisine from within the ethnic group itself. The representation of ethnicity is achieved primarily by discursive means. Neither owners, nor staff, nor customers from the relevant ethnic group, nor the style of the interior or music are necessary conditions for a restaurant to be accepted as ethnic. However, their presence is taken into account when the authenticity or inauthenticity of the restaurant is evaluated. Armenian informants, though, do not raise the question of authenticity: this category is irrelevant for them. Keywords: Armenians, ethnicity, ethnic restaurants, national cuisine, authenticity, St Petersburg. To cite: Guliaeva E., ‘What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic?

THE CULTURE OF THE AZERbaIJANI PEOPLE GOES MILLENNIA baCK. ince time immemorial, Azer- baijanis’ traditional occupation Shas been agriculture and ani- mal husbandry, which could not but affect the characteristics and diet of the population. National cuisine can tell many interesting things about the culture and history of a country, and in this sense, Azerbaijani cuisine, with its excellent taste and quality characteristics, as it were, speaks for itself. As early as the Neolithic period, the population in Azerbaijan cul- tivated wheat and barley, which served as the basis for their diet along with meat. In the Bronze Age, with the development of cattle- breeding, dairy products came into the diet of our ancestors.

It’s no secret that Yarpag dolmasi 46 www.irs-az.com Dushbara the culinary art of Azerbaijan is popular with many nations of the world, especially in the East. Azer- baijan has long been known for local varieties of grapes and fruit, which contributed significantly to the enrichment of national cuisine. One of the important factors in- fluencing Azerbaijani cuisine is reli- gion. Muslim festivals and various rit- uals, including fasting, had a strong influence on diet and nutrition. Home cooking and eating has long served as the primary ethno- graphic feature of Azerbaijanis in both cities and rural areas. Using old culinary recipes from generation to generation, housewives have ex- panded the range of dishes and im- proved their quality.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

The hotel blends features of Seljuk and Ottoman architecture, and boasts a magnificent panorama of Istanbul for its guests' viewing pleasure. Looking back on the timeline of the Sultanahmet Neighborhood, The Gülab crew envisioned a building that not only fits well with the Historical Peninsula's architectural legacy, but also leaves an imprint of lasting effect for the future. This was made possible with an utmost conformity to highest international standards and application of cutting-edge technology. To ensure earthquake resistance, concrete that is frequently used in dam constructions was applied in our entirely renovated building. The outer facade of the hotel with a myriad of fine craftsmanship manifestations was clad in marble by renowned masters themselves. THE LOBBY The ground floor and the lobby of Ajwa Hotel Sultanahmet features a special ornament applied by Gülab Architecture & Construction. The pillars were built with four masses of marble blocks instead of working with small pieces. These marble blocks stretch all the way from the ground floor up to the ceiling. The solid Marmara marble of the pillars that greet you at the hotel entrance makes further appearances in the lobby, the mezzanine, bathrooms, spa, and the Turkish baths as well. DELUXE ROOM The deluxe rooms at Ajwa Hotel Sultanahmet feature solid walnut furniture and Persian silk rugs. With Sinan inspired ceramic bathroom tiles, solid Marmara marbles, hammam-style bathrooms and marble basins, these rooms reflect a refined taste of the past in a present setting.

First, they dug a hole – chala - in the ground, made a bonfire there, put meat in skin or in a stomach on the fire, etc., covered it with earth from the top and then made a bonfire again.

  • About Lavash
    Following tradition Tahir AMIRASLANOV, Professor About lavash hen I hear the words lavash – yukha, I am imme- diately overwhelmed by childhood memories. WI remember women living next door kneading dough together with my mother, aunt and grandmother. They put the dough to mature, and then divided it into round pieces “kunda”. One or two of the women prepared the tandir or saj (concave circular iron plate). The saj was plastered with shira (a mixture of ash, clay and manure) on the underside. While the women were engaged in all this, we, the kids, prepared firewood in order to heat the tandir or light the fire under the saj. And here begins the solemn performance: Women rolled paper-thin lavash with the “okhlov”, a thin and pointed rolling pin, on a round wooden yayga. The okhlov also helped to turn the lavash on the saj and make holes in the bubbles. If it was prepared on the saj - it was called “lavash”, “yukha salmag” – to spread the yukha and lavash on the saj, and if it was prepared in the tandir - “yavash yapmag” – to attach the lavash. The thing is that the lavash had to be attached to the hot inner walls of prepared “doymaj” (döymяc); This simple dish was so tasty the tandir. To do this, it was first rolled out on a special that it is difficult to describe it. Some gourmets crumbled tool called rafata (rяfяtя).
