Thank you both. My wife is Ukrainian raised in former USSR. I’m a born and bred American who recently discovered my Armenian heritage and even adopted my Armenian family name; Derderian. We went to Hayastan (Armenia) in 2017 and have gone each year even during COVID. Definitely plan to retire there. So happy to see people enjoying this enchanting land and culture and bringing it to the world. Thank you!
I'm Mexican American but before the war started I had Ukraine and Armenia om my mind I think Anthony Bourdain said tha the vodka in Ukraine was better than russia.??
Armenia is the true crossroad of the world. That is precisely why it has shrunk over the centuries. Thank you for your beautiful videos. New subscriber here!
Thank you so much! 🤗 I bloody love bread haha! I used to work in a bakery school in London, was teaching people how to make all different kinds of bread. So that really brought up my passion and love for it 😁❤️
I need to visit my family In Armenia. Gumretsi is my dads ancestry. I love and cook Armenian food. My grandmother ate brains and my mom cooked tongue before priced skyrocketed. It is delicious!
@@MattandJulia by the way....it seems not only Armenian peolpe are lovely ahd friendly... pets are also adorable over there..... Another great video.... congrats
Very interesting video, thank you! I never had cow's head, but I ate sheep's head several times, indeed an adventurous range of tastes and textures for us dedicated carnivores.
I loved this ! The time and effort put into the making of the bread is a, Mazing - the passion is beautiful! You guys really do a great job explaining everything! Thank you for sharing ❤️ the traditions are so interesting -
Thank you so much 😘❤️ You know what, it actually seems that way to me too haha, they just want to be loved bless them, make me cry every bloody time! 🙈
@@MattandJulia They do look like they want to be loved! Do you know what kind of breeds they are? Seems very different to the ones you find in the UK. Hopefully you can adopt one some point in the future and travel with them too :)
many thanks to you two, that could introduce to us , for us to get to knows others countries life, lives and tradition and cultures...,like and so much....
Great video! That family really has it going on. They're driven and determined to succeed. Good for them! I might have to draw a line on the cow head meat. It would definitely be a new, cautious tasting for me. But if you ate it, I probably could, too!
Thank you so much Lyn, really glad you enjoyed it 😘 We really loved spending time with the family, could just see how much they love what they do, it's so infectious! P. S. We would hold each others hands as we eat the head together haha 😀❤️
Hi guys! Could you maybe post link or at least name in local language of the restaurant in Gyumri? I am currently in Yerevan for work, and was thinking of visiting for my bday end-October - thank you =)
Beef tongue is considered a delicacy in Russia and neighboring states... I never seen it on a menu in US restaurants but it is available in US supermarkets... for about $40 a pound ($80 a kilo)
4:36 i heard about this very famious clay oven bread that can use atleast one month , that,s true ...???? very hard worker and beautiful work ,may God bless them all ... Amen .
Armenia may be a small country now, but used to be a lot larger. Much of Armenian lands are occupied by the Ottoman Turks (the current country of Turkey) and the people of Aaran who have adopted the fake name (1918) of Azerbaijan for their fake country. Ottomans and Azeris have money and guns, so for now they are prevailing in depriving Armenians from reuniting its people and lands. Throughout history Armenia has existed as a fierce nation with a big heart.
thank you, truly, thank you for saying this. as an Armenian it means the world that somebody is actually mentioning this, so i truly appreciate it a ton, God bless.
Still !!! traditional cooking is still the best. And I find common way of cooking on diffetent country side / villages in different countries. Im eating with you pips as you eat those delicious food.
Ok, I'm absolutely not chaty at all, and the tongue is one of my favoriute one among all kinds of meats from different animals. I hate brain, good for me :) Hi from Turkey.
Hahaha, I love it 😂 We were actually very surprised by the texture aaand the flavour of the tongue! It is so delicious 😍 Sending lots of love to Turkey ❤️
Matt tongue does not have the consistency of liver, NO WAY! It is the most tender meat out there. When it comes to the Brain. If had it before in Tacos and its mushy. I could only eat 2 tacos of Brain.
Once I tried the fruits in Armenia, it ruined it for me here in the states. 😆 Even walking through Yerevan, there are fruit trees with the fruits just pouring off of them. Lots of mulberries. People just reach out and grab them while walking. Its really cool.
I REALLY enjoy seeing all the different places you visit and their individual customs!! Watching you trying cow’s tongue, cheek and then the brain (when I noticed that I had that look of horror on my face 😧) made me realise that not eating the whole animal is actually wasteful. It just that we don’t eat these things normally. Offal 🫢. Reminds me of school dinners and the lady telling me I had to eat the liver which was horrible, all those tubes and that taste, put me off for life 🤢 Right let’s watch your next video 😄🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
