Georgia

[MCC06]

I'm going to Georgia soon and wonder what are the national dishes of Tbilisi?

Georgia is home to some fascinating dishes and the wines are fast making a name for themselves across Europe. They serve lots of salads and fruit during a meal, typically you might get aubergine fried or boiled and seasoned with walnuts, and there are masses or oranges. They flavour stews heavily with garlic, coriander and saffron. Two Georgian specialities are khachaouri and khinkali. The first is a kind of Georgian pizza and cheese omelette, and the second is a local version of a very tasty dim sum. They are essentially dumplings filled with minced pork or beef. Georgia produces a soft cheese called elargi which is used to make a fondue, and traditionally they serve suaces made from garlic and damson, with almost every type of meat.
