Lamejunes!
A couple of days ago, driving through Tewksbury I saw a new sign saying:
I didn't have time to stop, but I made a note of it. When I got home, I called them up and asked if they carry lamejunes. It turns out they carry both fresh and frozen, regular meat or spicy. I'm pleased. I love lamejunes(*).
The store also carries baklava and other pastries, several different varieties and brands of havlah, several barrels of olives (I'm not an olive fan, so I didn't really notice), spices, beverages, and other stuff that's not easy to find in the area. The market just opened 3 months ago.
(*) When I was twelve-years-old, an Armenian friend of the family introduced me to lamejunes. They're sort of the Areminian version of a pizza. It's made of very thin and soft dough covered with spices, ground meat (or no meat), and finely chopped peppers.
Lamejunes make a great snack or a meal (I usually cook them flat and then roll them up like a cigar to eat them).
Before now, the only place I could get them was in Watertown at one of the middle eastern stores along Mount Auburn St. On the rare occasions I'm in Watertown in the daytime, I'd try to pickup a half dozen lamejunes (on occasion, I've borrowed a friends fridge to keep them cold while visiting).
So I'm happy that I now have a local store.
If you want to check them out, they're at 1487 Main St. (Rt. 38) and open until 8pm. They're in the same plaza as Kyoto restaurant (average tapanaki grill), so look for the green Kyoto sign.
p.s. They're pronounced "lah-meh-junes".
