You won’t find a holiday feast on December 25th in Armenia. That’s because they celebrate Christmas on January 6th, a date that all Christian communities used into the 4th century. But no matter when they celebrate, food is still a large part of Armenian holiday traditions. Families sit down to a delicious meal of different starters and salads like babaganoush and tabbouleh on Christmas day. Armenian meals vary, depending on the individual family’s roots, but a couple treats make an appearance on most tables: Rojik and Bastegh. Now these are unique and yummy sweets!
Rojik is literally a string with walnuts attached that gets dipped in a concentrated grape juice. It looks kind of like a sausage at first glance, but is sweet and has a nice chewy, crunchy consistency. Bastegh is also made out of fruit. It is a homemade fruit leather which gets stuffed with different kinds of nuts. It was actually invented to preserve fruits, but turned out to be a delicious treat. What a healthy and delicious dessert for Christmas eve! Most of these sweets are made at home by skilled hands, but they can also be found in shops.
