Armenian Snickers


Here are some delectable fruit and nut confections that are Armenian specialties. To the left are straight-up dried fruits. In the middle - fruit lavash - predecessor of the fruit roll-up? And then on the right is sujuk - a sausage-shaped treat billed as Armenian snickers. They string walnuts into a kind of walnut rope and then dip it and dry it successively in a mixture of grape and mulberry juice. What results is an amazing nutty fruity energy-packed treat. Which would you rather have while x-country skiing?
