New Year's Feast

We have been to several Nor Tari (New Year) parties in the past week, and we've found that there are some commonalities to all of them. We have the heavily laden table:

The fruit bowl, the dried fruit, the barbecued meat:

More barbecued meat:

Cakes:

Bean patties:

And, of course, the ever present tolma (with both cabbage and grape leaves)

As well as olives, various fried foods, nuts, seeds, and salads. Seriously, Armenian New Years spread is just about as intense a food holiday as there is anywhere in the world.
