Well, for one Manti is barely eaten in Armenia. It’s simply not part of Eastern Armenian cuisine. In fact, I don’t know to what extent it was eaten by Western Armenians before the Genocide. Zhingyalov hats was also at some point rarely talked about, until it got popularised by Artsakh Armenians.
But khash is ubiquitous: it is a true pan-Armenian dish.

Soup or Tray?
I’m a soup boy. Best Manti in the world is at Aintab in Yerevan. When I go to Yerevan, I eat it like 3 days a week.

I have never heard about this dish in Armenia.

You’re forgetting one crucial point, with the genocide came cultural erasure as well. That means a lot of dishes that were not documented and passed on from mother to daughter were gone. These days, there is a renaissance of Armenian cuisine, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union. The separation between physical Armenia and Armenians is no longer an issue, and the reintroduction of these dishes to Armenians all over the world is underway.

I lived in Yerevan for few years and never got this mantis. I always thought “manti” is like Turkish Manti which is like Georgian Khinkhali. Now I have to go back

Best dish in the world 💪
I can chow down an oven tray full of it faster than you guys can have an argument about its origins.

I remember my mom forcing me to eat “Manti” she got from god knows where as a frozen meal. These were the most horrid.
When I moved to Yerevan I was surprised to see these are somewhat hard to come by, and vast majority of people prefer Khinkali, so if someone knows a good place in Yerevan where you can get some proper Manti – let me know, but right now this word fills me up with dread

I tried both the turkish and the armenian. I didn’t personally liked the armenian one because they out the meat too much just like in the picture and the dough used wasn’t too great. But would still prefer it over a lot of other food. Turkish one was far better imp

Aaaa man I really wanna try that

Because it’s not Armenian, comes from Mantu which is dumpling in Chinese. Turks brought it back from Asia (Mongolia).
