ʻO nā mea Azerbaijani kekahi manawa he mau Turkic inoa, akā, ma keʻano o ka kukeʻai a me ka ho'āʻo, uaʻano like lākou me ka mea Iran. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, i ka makahiki 3-4 BC. Ua lanakilaʻo'Azerbaijan i ka Sassanids, ka mea i hoʻokumu i ka noho ikaika loa o Iran. ʻO ka uluʻana o ka moʻomeheu a me nā pilina feudal ma kēia mau makahiki i hana likeʻia. Mei ma hope mai, ua olaʻo Azerbaijan i ka hōʻiliʻili Arab i ka kenekulia 8, ka hoʻokumuʻiaʻana o ka'Ilamana, ka hoʻouka kauaʻana o nā Turks ma nā kenekulia 11 a me ka 12, a me ka hoʻouka kauaʻana o Mongol, akā,ʻaʻole ia i hoʻopili i ka hana Azerbaijani i mālama i nā moʻomeheu Iran. Eia kekahi, i loko o ka 16-18 mau makahiki, he hapaʻo'Azerbaijan o Iran - ua hoʻonui hou kēia i ka mana Pelekia.
ʻO kaʻikeʻana o'Azerbaijan i hoʻokaʻawaleʻia mai ka makahiki 1800 a hiki i ka waenakonu o ke kenekulia 19 i nā kumumanaʻo liʻiliʻi - khanates - i hoʻohuiʻia i kekahi mau moʻomeheu'āina ma ka lumi kuke, ua ola a kanu i ka lā.
Ma ka'āina Lenkoran-Talysh, ma Southern Azerbaijan, kahi kīʻaha e hōʻike ana i nā huaʻala ma kahi ahi a me ka iʻa e hoʻopihaʻia ana ma Tyndyr, heʻano nui o kaʻai Azerbaijani. Ma ka Northern Azerbaijan, kahi ikaika o ka mana o Turkic, he mea nui ke kīʻaha nui. Ma nā kūlanakauhale nui, e like me Baku, Shemakha, Ganja, e hoʻomākaukau ana lākou i nā pulu lāʻau, nā kutabs, shakerburu, baklava, a rahat-uku.
ʻO ke Keiki ka mea nui i kaʻai Azerbaijani,ʻo ia kaʻiʻo o nā keiki'ōpio. Akā,ʻaʻole i kahi kanaka nui i'Azerbaijan ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe e like me Uzbekistan. Hoʻohui pūʻia me ka mīkini, kaʻiʻo, ka bipi a me ka moa e hoʻohana pinepineʻia, heʻano ia o kaʻai Azerbaijani a me ka hoʻokaʻawaleʻana mai nā mea kanu Caucasian. Hoʻopiliʻia ka'ōpena'ōpiopio ma kahi ahi e'ā ana,ʻo ia hoʻi me nā huaʻona a me nā huaʻeto - nā kākā, nā piomele a me ka cornelian. Hoʻonui ka lahaʻana i nā iʻa āpau.
ʻO kahi wahi nui i ka iʻa Azerbaijani e kuke iʻa,ʻo ia hoʻi konaʻano hiʻona. Hoʻomakaukauʻia ka iʻa iʻa e like me ke kepaʻapi mai ka'ōpū ma kahi ahi e'ā ana, piha i nā hua a me nā noki.
ʻO nā hua, nā mea kanu a,ʻo ka mea nui loa,ʻo nā'ōpū'elepa a me nā mea kanu i hoʻohanaʻia i ka meaʻai i nā manawa he nui ma mua o nā kālaina Georgian a me Armenian, akā ma keʻano hou. Inā lākou e kuke me nā hua aiʻole me kaʻiʻo, e nui aʻe ke kala (kyukyu, ajabsandal).
Mai nā lauʻai i kaʻai Azerbaijani i kēia lā, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i ka uala (ʻelua). Eia naʻe, ma mua o ka'Azerbaijani,ʻaʻole i hoʻohanaʻia ka uala. Ua paniʻia me ka chestnuts. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, me nā momona, kahi maikaʻi o nā mea kūlohelohe no ka meaʻai - mauna, sumac, bun.
Ma keʻano laulā, ma nāʻano Azerbaijani, nā mea kanu i hoʻonuiʻia i hoʻohanaʻia - eggplants, tomato, nā meaʻono. ʻO ke koʻikoʻi e hoʻohana i ka radish, kāloti, beets. Akā, hoʻohana nuiʻia nā mea kanu a me nā mea kanu'ōmaʻomaʻo (asaka, artichoke, chickpeas, peas). ʻAiʻia nā huaʻai a me nā hua e like me nā huaʻai.
Hoʻokomoʻia nā'āpanaʻeleʻele ma nā mea Azerbaijaniʻoi aʻe ma mua o ka pākuʻi, me he meaʻai lā no nā meaʻai. Mai hoʻohana i ka lauka palaoa ikaika a lawelawe pū me nā'ālika. Nui nāʻanoʻala likeʻole e hoʻohanaʻia i loko o nā mea Azerbaijani, akā, ua manaʻoʻiaʻo ka saffronʻo ia ka mea nui loa a punahele. Ma hope o nā mea a pau,ʻo ka saffron i hopohopoʻia ma mua o Media a me Peresia.
Mai nā lālā momona, ua hoʻohanaʻia nā piʻi rose. ʻO kēia, e like me ke noiʻana o nā kālepa, hoʻomaopopo i kaʻai Azerbaijani mai nā mea'ē aʻe. ʻO ka'opala, ka pahu i'ōpīʻia, ua hoʻokūpaʻaʻia ka syrup, ua hanaʻia nā pale.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona nui o kaʻai Azerbaijaniʻo ka hui pūʻana o nā huahana (kahi laiki, kaʻaila, sporach) me nā huaʻona a me ka waiu - ua loaʻa kaʻokoʻa o ka hou a me kaʻawa (dovga).
Nui nā kīʻaha Azerbaijani e hui pū me nā kīʻaha o nā'āina'ē aʻe (shish kebab, pilaf, dolma), akā, heʻano like kaʻenehana o kā lākou hoʻomākaukau.
ʻO ka pilafā haole Azerbaijan he mea pono'ī kona. No ka poʻe Iran kēia. Hoʻomākaukauʻia kaʻaki no ka pilafoa a lawelaweʻia ma ka papa me keʻano'ē aʻe mai nā mea'ē aʻe o ka pilaf aʻaʻole hoʻi e hui pū me ka meaʻai. ʻO ka lawaiʻaʻana i ka laiki e pili ana i kaʻono o ka pilaf, no ka mea,ʻo ka laiki kahi o ka hapalua o ka nui o ke kīʻaha. I ka wā e hanaʻole ka laiki,ʻaʻole e hoʻolapalapa, e pipili pū, akā,ʻo ia keʻano o kēlā me kēia raiki.
Hana i ka laiki i mea mahana. ʻO kahi kaʻawale, akā i ka manawa hoʻokahi, ua hānaiʻia ka laiki me nā meaʻai a me nā mea kanu likeʻole. No laila, uaʻikeʻia ka laiki kahiʻekolu mau'āpana o ka papa hoʻokahi.
Makemake nui i ka inuʻana i kaʻaʻai ma'Azerbaijan. Ke inu nei lākou i kaʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele a me ke kaona a me ka hoʻohanaʻana, e like me ia i loko o Iran, nā kīʻaha kūikawā kūikawā.
ʻO ka hoʻohanaʻana i ka nui o nā greens, nā hua a me nā wai, nā mea'ōpiopio a me nā mea waiū waiū, he mea ola maikaʻi ke kīʻaha Azerbaijani a maikaʻi.
