http://time-cook.ru/konservirovanie/ do a google search with this link, then hit translate before you bring it up. There is a whole section on canning recipes. This is a Russian cookbook and all the recipes are just fascinating me. I want to find more recipes like this from other countries.

Hi Grace,
I too am fascinated by various ethnic foods. While researching Armenia herbed flatbreads last year I came across a couple of websites you might like to look into. Armenian while similar to Turkey's food is different as Chinese is different from Japanese.
First is a site with the flatbread description which caught my eye - I still have to try this, but just the number of possible foraged and grown herbs etc. sounds yummy.

I was also trying to find THE specialty herb mentioned in the recipe (special herb called either [sic] carmantyuc (kndzmdzuk) and could not find an English translation - so if there are any permies who are Armenian I would love to know what this herb is :-)
While trying to find more info on the bread I also found this site.

FYI I use google safe browsing to check sites before I go into them and I checked these two, but I think it is really important that you always check a site before clicking on links and search engine results.
Fun stuff, thanks for posting Grace. By the way my ethnic heritage is Polish, English and Irish. :-)
Hi Catherine, yes this is fun. I would like to know what that spice is. I like your links they will keep me busy.
I think most of the ethnic food we ate was Norwegian, Slavic and Italian. We always ate a lot of fish.
I would like to perfect making gyro meat.
I also like to look at the pictures at The Art of Armenian and Middle Eastern Cooking http://www.facebook.com/ARMENIANANDMIDDLEEASTERNCOOKING?ref=ts&...
Oh My, did you see " TRUFFLE CHEESECAKE WITH GRAND MARNIER "!!!
I made a lot of chocolates this Christmas for gifts and that still looked wonderful!
Re: the herb/spice I made contact with the gal at the Armenian Kitchen and she did not know the answer but was going to ask around. I may see about posting it on the FB link.
Yes, I put the cheesecake on my FB page to remind me I want to make it. Some of the food on that page sounds unbelievably good. I have not tried any of the recipes yet, but we have Middle Eastern Grocery near by, so I can get all the ingrediants.

Here is another interesting pickle recipe it is for swiss chard stems refrigerator pickles. I found it when I was searching to find out what Sriracha was.
I will have to see if Deane would be interested in my doing that with left over stems although I will have to leave out the hot sauce for him :-)
Grace did you participate/see the thread last year on fermented sauerkraut? Your posting this reminded me because I have a batch of fermenting 'kraut on my counter right now. If you did not see it and can't find it post and I will find the link for you.
Hi Catherine,
I will have to look for the thread. Maybe this year I will have time to try some new food recipes.
The swiss chard pickle recipe sound like you could throw any vegetable scraps in it. It made me think of 3 bean salad which sounds really good right now.
Hi Grace,
The particular discussion was very long - lots of fun. Here is the page in it where I show my sauerkraut, but I would encourage you to read the entire discussion. I learned a lot.

And I think you are right on with whatever 'scraps' left over could be made into the quick pickle. Happy New Year!
Thanks Catherine, The thread has a lot of great information and links. It sounds like I will have a lot of fun once my spring garden starts producing.
