Food as a marker for economy and part of identity: traditional vegetal food of Yezidis and Kurds in Armenia

Roman Hovsepyan; Nina Stepanyan‐Gandilyan; Hamlet Melkumyan, and Lili Harutyunyan · 2016

Catalogue summary

The authors document food plants and dishes used by Yezidi and Kurdish communities in Armenia through fieldwork, observation, and species identification. They relate culinary patterns to pastoral livelihoods and distinguish them from common Armenian food practices.

Why this matters

It broadens a study of Armenia beyond a single community by preserving the distinct food knowledge and lived environments of Yezidi and Kurdish residents.
