Armenia
What a foodie treasure-trove this place is! The cuisine is very traditional, and seems to have elements of both Russian and mediterranean food. It was really hard to choose what to make, and although tempted to make a favourite dish with eggplant or lamb, we decided to go slightly outside our comfort zone with a chicken noodle soup (in summer!). It is made from chicken stock, in which you boil egg noodles and poach chicken breast. You then mix in an egg and lots of lemon juice. So what you have is a smooth, thick, creamy soup, with an interesting salt/sour flavour. Kind of one of those love it/hate it things. Jo, Grant and Carter loved it, Niamh hated it! We served it with Armenian lavosh bread; a kind of flat "cracker" bread, which you break into pieces to eat. The website I got the recipe from claims it is the original bread broken in the bible. The music was fantastic-really folky.

Hi guys.
Which countries do you have left?
Maybe I can come up this week and help you make and eat one!
I have missed the last couple of entries, sounding adventurous though. We know why the asian countries do curries - something to do with age and condition of the meat isn't it?? Are you saving any particular country for last? Maybe it could be a family occasion - a Mediterranean feast perhaps.
We are saving the sea for last; a mighty seafood platter! Niamh really wants to colour in the whole map, and there's a whole lot left out if you don't colour in the sea...
