Armenian Gata

Gata is first of all cult pastries, and not just food; at almost every holiday it symbolizes luck and happiness. Previously, it was made in tonir. “There was a beautiful tradition - to bake gata with families. Previously, it was normal and relevant, since everyone lived nearby, in private houses, there was a lot of work, so joint work was appreciated. Sometimes a penny, beans, walnuts or something else are put in the gatа, and the one who gets the “surprise” can consider himself lucky and count on a successful year for him,” our source said.
