New cuisine alert: Armenia

Armenia just landed on What the World Eats.

It’s a small country on the map, but towering in every other way. Rugged mountains, deep valleys, and one of the world’s oldest food cultures, still very much alive today.

Expect bold aromas, fresh herbs, sour notes from fruits like pomegranate and apricot, slow-cooked dishes built for mountain life, and breads baked the same way they were centuries ago.

If you’re curious about cuisines shaped by altitude, history, and memory, Armenia is one to linger on.

Go explore it.
