'''Lapa''' ({{langx|hy|Լապա}}) or '''lapas''' ({{langx|el|λαπάς}}) is a kind of [[rice]] [[porridge]] or [[gruel]] eaten in the [[Balkans]], [[Levant]], and [[Middle East]]. It is made of just [[rice]], [[water]], and [[salt]] and has the consistency of a thick soup.<br />
<br />
In [[Greek cuisine]], it is used as a remedy for [[diarrhea]], served with lemon juice.<ref>G. Babiniotis, Λεξικό της Νέας Ελληνικής Γλώσσας (1998)</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The dictionary of the [[Türk Dil Kurumu]] considers it a [[loanword]] from Pontic Greek ("[[Rumca]]").<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tdk.gov.tr/index.php?option=com_gts&arama=gts&guid=TDK.GTS.5621fb439179e2.81838625|title=TÜRK DİL KURUMU|access-date=3 January 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Robert Dankoff]] gives it an [[Armenian language|Armenian]] origin: լափ ''lap’'' 'watery food for dogs, pap for babies'.<ref>Robert Dankoff, ''Armenian Loanwords in Turkish'', {{ISBN|3-447-03640-0}}. p. 53 [https://books.google.com/books?ei=-o1US4iRDJWUzgTMgqnlBQ&cd=2&id=jXxkAAAAMAAJ&q=lapa snippet]</ref><br />
