If you were wandering the campus of Tufts University last Thursday
night, you may have smelled the aroma of freshly made eetch wafting
from the house of Tufts Armenian Club Executive Board member Knar
Bedian. Lit up by the lights of the living room, the Armenian flag
glowed from the window, and maybe you could catch a glimpse of seniors
Rob Apelian, Shaunt Fereshetian, Lisa Setrakian, Ani Shahinyan, and
Knar Bedian, all furiously chopping up parsley, sautéing onions, and
measuring out cups of diced tomato.
After hours of preparation, the Armenian Club was ready to join the 10
other culture clubs at the Tufts Culinary Society's 2nd Annual Culture
Crawl.
After hours of preparation, the Armenian Club was ready to join the 10
other culture clubs at the Tufts Culinary Society's 2nd Annual Culture
Crawl. With an Armenian flag hanging behind them, and signs explaining
each of the three courses - written in both Armenian and English by club
member Ani Shahinyan - the club handed out choregs and lahmajoun,
scooping spoonfuls ofeetch and garnishing with parsley. Senior Kenny
Alperin kept busy shuttling lahmajoun straight out of the oven from
his suite to the event, keeping a steady supply throughout the event.
The Armenian Club received much praise from fellow students and the
organizers of the event. While many of the other clubs ran out of food
quickly, our club, in typical Armenian fashion, had made more than
enough food, and was able to give everyone a little taste of Armenia.
For a club that just recently attained recognition as an official
club, and whose presence has not grown to match past sizes, this was
certainly a great step towards affirming a place on campus and raising
awareness of Armenian culture.
The Tufts Armenian Club would like to thank Lauren Alperin for
donating the lahmajoun to the Armenian Club, and the Tufts Culinary
Society for the funding and opportunity to participate in their 2nd
Annual Culture Crawl.
