Back in Yerevan the next evening, I walked through an arch onto an old cobblestone street off bustling Amirian Street and found Anteb, a Syrian-Armenian restaurant, where we had spicy, crepe-thin lahmajuns (Armenian pizza); a piquant muhamara (walnut, pomegranate molasses and red pepper dip) that you scoop up with hot, puffy lavash; and kuftas, crisp shells of cracked wheat bursting with lamb and herbs.

Diners torn between horror (the whole rabbit?!) and altruistic resignation (if I'm going to eat a rabbit, I should not waste any of it) were relieved to find only the edible parts, in three preparations: a dry roulade topped with "rabbit-bit vinaigrette"; moist meat stewed in a broth piquant with turnip, carrot, and parsley; and the "hind quarters" on the bone, delicate and savory, doused in an irresistible onion-mustard sauce.

If you find yourself in the bland, boring, beige phase, when different textures cannot butt up against another on the same plate, or one speck of parsley can contaminate the whole dinner, I encourage you to find all the white foods you can actually love — cauliflower, chicken, fish, rice, apples, bread, eggs, banana — and go at them with deft ambidexterity: a plain piece of swordfish for those who will run away from home otherwise, and a lively piquant pan sauce — in this case lemony, capery piccata — for those who will drink themselves to an early death if they don't have something adult and interesting at the table to eat.
