Vegetables in Georgia are a special taste! Eggplant and tomato are the kings of the table, I recommend eggplant roll with nut dressing, unusual taste sensations and, of course, very fragrant. Lobio is made from beans according to an old Georgian recipe here, it's also worth trying, it's absolutely necessary.
Meat – feed your husband satsivi, an unusual combination of sauce and meat – class! Chakhokhbili dish is an incomparable stew, vegetables and chicken will not leave anyone indifferent. And kupaty! These fried sausages are made best in Georgia.
It's more difficult with cheeses, the choice is so rich, you get lost. I consider Imereti and Suluguni to be mandatory for the test.

There is such a variety in the Georgian cuisine that both you and your husband will be satisfied. The recipe of the dishes contains numerous spices, each ingredient has its own, therefore the taste is such that it cannot be repeated at home.
The main, popular dishes are khinkali and khachapuri, public opinion says that being in Georgia they should be tasted without fail. Khachapuri in this country there are many options, it would seem a boat pie with egg and cheese. No, you can try more than forty types, even with bean filling. All the nationalities of Georgia have their own special recipe, their own components. You will have to try a lot) beware of the waist)), but only by this method will you find your khachapuri.
Khinkali does not surprise us, we are familiar, we know. Yes, only the store version was not even close to the real khinkali. It looks like a big dumpling. Juicy, fragrant greens are added to the meat filling. But this is standard, and there are many, many types of fillings. They eat only with their hands and in hot form, do not spill the broth – the most relish.
And what is Georgia without a barbecue? Here the marinade is not used, salt and pepper are the whole seasoning. Additionally, sauces are served, onion rings and tomatoes.
Chicken dish – satsivi, also a must-try, there's really one sauce worth it. Sometimes turkey or goose meat is added instead of chicken. There are a lot of nuts in the gravy sauce, the taste is unusual and interesting.
Of the first courses – kharcho soup, such as here you will not try anywhere else. Also chikhirtma, a soup of delicate taste from chicken, less often from lamb with seasonings. Corn flour is added for density. The unusual thing is that there are no vegetables in this soup.
Lobio is prepared from vegetables, the base is beans, further on the imagination, each cook cooks in his own way. Served and cooked in pots, separately or with rice.
The exquisite name Glekhuard looks like an ordinary salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, but in fact it is not. Large pieces of vegetables are seasoned with nut dressing with vinegar, garlic, and spices. Everything is simple, but very tasty and fragrant.
You will be in mountainous areas, try mchadi there, they cook well here. The special taste of cooking in the oven on coals, cooking on the stove – the taste is completely different. These are tortillas made of corn flour, sometimes bean puree, cheese and various greens are added.
Churchkhela is a Georgian dessert, the world's sweetness! In the resorts of our country, they sell a distant semblance of churchkhela. Ingredients: flour, walnuts, sugar and grape juice. The recipe comes from distant centuries, each family has its own secret ingredients. I advise you to try the dessert Kaga. This is a pastry made on kefir, with a filling of corn flakes, nuts and fruit syrup.
In Georgia, cheeses, along with meat, are popular and widespread. Cheese in this country is good everywhere: baked, as a snack, fried. The most famous is suluguni, although each nationality of Georgia has its own taste, each hostess cooks in her own way. Another famous cheese is Imereti, the taste is unusual and pleasant, because mint is in it. If you like spicy cheese, then try Kobiysky, or you can Tushinsky. For an amateur, Guda cheese is mutton.

It is impossible to try everything in Georgia, everything is so delicious, and the dish seems to be the same – yes, of different tastes.
From meat - shish kebab is undoubtedly the best in Georgia, but pay attention to chakhokhbili. Chicken pieces or poultry meat in tomato sauce are stewed until soft. And before that, they are fried without oil, and then a large number of tomatoes are cut and stewed in juice. Of course, spices and herbs.
Try borani, tobacco chicken plus lots of vegetables, cooking separately. The main vegetables in the side dish are string beans and eggplant. Part of the vegetable stew is spread on a plate, then the chicken, then the remaining vegetables.
In Georgia, meat dishes are prepared from all the main types of meat – pork, beef and lamb. Buglama dish of lamb stewed with spices.

Oh! Do you like vegetables? So this is paradise for you.) All–different combinations of vegetables and wine – wonderful food, plus the hospitality of this country - you will be charmed.
As a vegetable gourmet, I advise you to start tasting Georgia with the lobio dish. As with other dishes, so with this – there are a lot of variations. My favorite is cooked in a pot and red beans are added.
Eggplant in Georgia opened for me as a new product. For example, with nut paste, the name is Ajapsandal, be sure to try it. The portions are very large, so even eating twice a day is very satisfying, make a schedule for sampling dishes.))
There are a lot of herbs and seasonings in each recipe, salads are so fragrant, the taste is extraordinary because of the successful combination of vegetables and seasonings. The high-sounding name Glehurad is made from ordinary ingredients, and the taste of which I have never tried anywhere. We collected certain herbs, spicy spices and a mixture of nuts – it turns out phali. Tomatoes in Georgia have such a taste that it seems they have not eaten anything like it.
Pastries, bread – will also surprise with a new composition, interesting taste. The aroma of mrgvili, made of corn dough – mchadi, nazuki muffin, it's impossible to list everything!
Georgian cooking is known all over the world, but the real taste is only here, only in Georgia.
Khachapuri, this dish has been mastered by all housewives, but in this country there are so many options that the eyes run away! Children really praise imeruli, one of the varieties with a mountain of cheese. Men are delighted with svanuri, with the addition of meat to the filling, megruli cheese khachapuri.
Meat dishes also have plenty of space, taste and satiety are guaranteed. One of the national is Khinkali. Yes, we tried store-bought and praised, but! There are no points of contact with khinkali at home, a completely different taste, an unforgettable aroma. Juicy, you can eat with your lips, they are so tender. Satsivi in Russian families is rarely cooked by anyone, so try this dish. All the relish is in the original filling-sauce. Chicken as a base and walnut as part of the sauce; in general, the combination gives a real pleasure from the dish.
And fried sausages? Mmm.. kupaty, and a kebab? And the kebab?
Dessert dishes basically contain grape juice with various additives. I really love churchkhela, but not the one on the beach in Russia, but the local Georgian one.
It seems to me that Georgian cheese is on par with Dutch and French in fame. Suluguni is on everyone's lips. There are several options here in the native expanses. Try a few. Tenili cheese is unusual and delicious very much. Georgian mozzarella, tsalkinsky. Be sure to buy a skiba cheese with mint at home, it is original and impressive.
There are a lot of cheeses, trying different ones you will definitely find your own, which will be remembered for a long time. Consult with the locals on the transportation and storage of cheeses at home, it will be interesting and the product will please you longer.
