  2. My favorite all time — healthy — delicious food! Jingalov Hatz. I actually came up with a version here in the U.S. as I’ve missed that wonderful hatz so much. I use one of the sofe roll up breads from the market, and then cook all the bitter greens I can find with parsley and onions in some butter — and roll it up. It isn’t Jangalov Hatz — it doesn’t have the mountain air, or the smell of the mountains or the wild flowers, nor the love of the women of Arstakh who pick the greens and make this delicious traditional food of ARstakh.

  3. I didn’t quite finish that post. I meant ‘soft’ roll up breads. I wanted to finish up by saying — but it does remind me of it and I love eating it.

  4. I was in Yerevan and Artsakh last summer. I never knew about this bread and never saw it on the menus. I can’t wait to go back and have some. After all, we include some kind of bread with all our meals as Armenians, what better bread than with fresh greens !!!

  5. Your sweet article is causing my eyes to well up with melancholy. I am remembering my Hayastansi father’s love of his garden greens, and the joy he and his ‘DP’ friends had eating fresh lavash (whatever could be obtained in the States) filled with fresh herbs and washed down with a glass of tahn or the occasional beer. Such a simple pleasure served as a conduit for hours of joking, playing nardee, and discussing Hai Tahd or great Armenian writers. Thanks for evoking these precious memories and I wish you many years of memory-making in Armenia.
