[@aileencho5293]

As an Angeleno-New Yorker-Angeleno, I love that Marcus pointed out that "Hollywood" isn't just about the entertainment industry. Most of us are just normal people from all over the world, mingling together and eating each other's food. Jonathan Gold was the food writer who began recognizing amazing restaurants run by immigrants in nondescript mini-malls all over LA.

[@yayareapurp]

This is the best one, not for anything other than the love, respect and unity with their eclectic backgrounds. While recognizing their non Armenian heritage by one another it’s amazing and fulfilling to see as a Ethiopian diaspora

[@skatingcanuck9837]

This episode was like a tapestry of Armenian people, history, and cultures - so many layers and feasts. I love how Marcus gets involved in the cooking process.One of my favourite moments was the part where Marcus learned from the Armenian grandmother and recognized her relationship with her grandson, but also the matriarchal influence on so many chefs of today. Marcus has such passion and respect for other food cultures. I wish there had been more seasons to this show.

[@princessstrawberry111]

Marcus Samuelsson is such an amazing host! I'm Armenian and kind of a history nerd so I always felt so connected to Ethiopia and was thankful to Ethiopia for the help to Armenians in our history. It was so nice to see that connection with the host as well. Thank you for showing the Armenian community and our culture so beautifully.

My family and I have traveled to and through LA on a number of occasions. I have always heard about the Asian culture, but the history of the Armenians is on another level. This is the richest show he has done up to this point. I hope I get a chance to sample some of that great cuisine and understand more of their history next time I travel to California.

Armenian food flourish in Los Angeles looks so delicious and I really want to eat this food. Thanks for your sharing🌹👌💓😘

[@johnny07652]

I'm glad for the references to Ethiopia to recognize Marcus' ethnic connection to the Armenians because Ethiopians and Armenians have a history of friendship and kinship with each other for centuries. Even today, many older generation Ethiopians will recognize Armenians as being their brothers and sisters because they were raised this way. The Armenian and Ethiopian Churches are the same branch of Christianity and Emperor Selassie is well known for his adoption of around 50 Armenian orphans whom he raised and educated as a response to the genocide.

[@serenityk9907]

[@cherryredfaygo]

It's so cool! Another interesting fact, despite both languages looking strikingly similar, they were actually both invented at around the same time but sound completely different! Yet if you look at the written language, they look extremely similar

[@MsLuvmusic81]

@@cherryredfaygo no the languages were not invented at the same time lol; the habesha (northern Ethiopians and present day Eritreans) had this language for thousands of years; it is originally from the Sabaen (modern day yemen) script and evolved to Ge'ez which Tigrinya and Amharic come from. An Ethiopian orthodox priest said that pilgrimages were done to Jerusalem and on these pilgrimages Armenians,Habeshas, Coptics etc would see each other there so it's thought that an Armenian saw the alphabet and brought it to Armenia. It's really strange that it's written that they dont know how Armenian alphabet started and that they think its Greek influenced when Greek looks nothing like the script - I find it hilarious

Marcus is Ethiopian. The Ethiopian are the African brothers of the armenians. We share alphabet and church and history

[@veek6514]

Tell me more about this please! I noticed the similarities in our alphabets and Orthodox religion... but don't know the history!

[@xavierlaflamme8773]

@veek6514 I don't know everything to the exact historical roots. But Ethiopian representatives traveled to armenia in the 1300s and set up their church to the Armenian system. Both are Oriental orthodox. Emperor Haile Sallasie went to Jarusalem in the 1930s where 40 armenian Orphans sang to him as he entered the Armenian quarter. Selassie took the orphans to Ethiopia along with their composer and they created the Ethiopian national anthem which was used under his rule. Much of the Ethiopian jazz during the last 80 years is heavily influenced through Armenian musicians living in Ethiopia. Selassie made a refuge for armenians in Ethiopia following the genocide in 1915 so many Armenians moved to Ethiopia and settled there. My grandfather was actually considering this I was told. As far as the languages. I don't know the exact connections and where is happened. But if you look at the letters they are similar in design. There is definitely a shared influence between the two during the Ethiopian empires and Armenian kingdoms . I dont know the exact details there. But the church connections are actually historically indicated and traced

[@veek6514]

@@xavierlaflamme8773 I dunno... you seem to know quite a lot... THANK YOU!!!

[@deesee3622]

I saw someone explain that there were pilgrimages to Israel and on the pilgrimage an Armenian monk met Ethiopian priest or monk and that’s how the alphabet might have been shared and was brought to Armenia. The Script has origin in Saba present day Yemen and Axum and Saba were like one. The Ge’ez script comes from Sabaen script and then Amharic and Tigrinya came from Ge’ez

[@deesee3622]

Also I’ve seen the surname Habeshian in Armenian culture. Interesting since people from northern ethiopia and a large part of Eritrea call themselves Habesha

[@odiewan67]

My mom was Persian and from small town in the northwest corner of Iran pretty close to Armenia. Growing up in central Florida, there wasn't a lot of options for her to get the food she craved and was so good at making. No feta cheese, no real tea, no real bread. None of the herbs and spices she needed. The closest thing was an Armenian market on the other side of town (30 miles away). It was way out of the way, but Pop would tell me that he had orders from Mom to get her some stuff from that market. So many wonderful smells and flavors. I can close my eyes now, imagine that place and the memories, aromas and flavors all come rushing back.
