Writing yesterday's post (scroll down, see below) on leplebou ouzoum brought back sad memories as well. It brought back the memory of the Armenians' days of hunger and want, and Peter's memory of a rich cousin holding out leplebou ouzoum and asking hungry Peter if he wanted any, six year old Peter saying yes, and the wealthy older cousin laughing and tossing the tasty tidbits into his own mouth, taunting Peter with the words, "Do you want some?" -- gleefully repeating the cruelty.
If there was no change in the cousin, than the cousin paid for that cruelty, with his life.
