In Cyprus allegedly the Armenians were famous for their Cat meat Lahmacun (Lahmajoun / Lahm bi aJIN). I hope it wasnt true. I hate to imagine my lvely pussies devoured by hungry and hairy Cypriots (me included). Can anybody shed any light on this. Kafenes, you must know something about this.
Definitely not cat, but lamb was the favourable meat for the Armenians to use for the Lahmacun, I make it with mixed beef and lamb mince. I the early sixties there were rumors that KOUPES in Larnaca was made of cat meat. This kind of rumors were common in those days by other towns that were jealous of a certain traditional recipes.
