♫ Gonna roll it into a log, rollin a pizza
♫ It's from Armenia ♫
(light guitar strumming)
- It's kind of like, near the middle east, right?
- I drive by Little Armenia all the time,
and it smells amazing.
- I love any food that can be the adult version
of Lunchables.
- Sort of like a meaty fruit leather.
It looks like my tongue.
- This is something that I would wanna have
with like a beer.
- Very subtle spice.
- Oh, the lettuce makes it.
- Yeah, you have to have it with the lettuce.
- It kinda reminds me of ketchup fried rice,
that my mom made as a kid.
- To each his own.
- Why can't more things be delivered on little leaf spoons?
(laughs)
- That tastes like it came right off the nipple.
- It tastes like salty, watered down yogurt.
- I could dip a cucumber in this, and just go all day.
- One would expect something that looks like this
to either be sweet, or taste like milk, and it's neither.
- This looks like a zestier matzoh ball soup.
- I like how gentle the broth is, it's just a whisper.
- It feels like I'm alone in a bathtub, reading a good book.
Does it not?
- Do you eat soup in the tub?
- What kinda meat is it?
- [Guy] Lamb - [Girl] No.
- I like that a lot of this food has been like low carb.
- This is like, the ultimate feel good food,
I feel like every culture has something
that they want when they come home on a fall day.
- Dude, I know pizza, and this is pizza.
- Feel like if I came home from school,
and my mom had made me this, I would just be like yes.
- (bleep) yeah, mom.
Lahmajun, baby.
- It's more peppery.
- Mmhmm.
- Yeah, the pepper, the meat, the lemon, the onion.
- This demands to be rolled up.
- My pinkies need to be up for this taquito.
- This is kind of like, the sweetness that I'm used to,
because in Japanese cultures, it's like,
very also subdued sweetness.
- Ah, this looks good.
Oh, it's warm.
- This looks like Donald Trump's hair.
Or quite possibly the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.
- Feel like I'm eatin' a sweet hairball.
(gargles)
(speaks Armenian)
- It tastes like what it smells like
to walk into a Christmas store.
- All my organs are tingling.
- Went straight to my armpits.
- This like, opened up my nasal passageways.
- Man, Armenian people like to party, am I right?
- I've lived throughout the middle east, and I love,
um, Arab culture, there's a lot of overlap,
so I've really enjoyed it.
- It's all something that you would gather over a big table,
and just share and have a good time with.
- There's no weird stuff, it's meatballs in soup.
- This coulda been baklava,
but then you cook it in a completely different way,
and you have something that tastes just as amazing,
and a completely different like, flavor palette.
