I couldn't find normall receipt of Georgian dolma in English at youtube., only kurdisg and iraque versions , they are different with georgian one. Ask for dolma in the restouran next time. There is receipt of dolma http://georgianrecipes.net/tag/dolma/
Khachapuri is fast food , it's paid at the resorts on the coast of black sea. Sellers are walking along beach with resting people and shouting : "Samsa, khachapuri, cold bear". Samsa is much more better for me, because it's with meat
Sorry if something is not understandable, my Englisg is bed
Sounds like Pizza Connection movie plot. No matter that Georgian instead of Italian. Original film was good, the starring actor is your type of men for sure.
Michele Placido. The wife working on govt. is the red herring?
In Georgia if you show knowledge of wines they will respect you. As well as you show of knowing 5-10 dishes of the local cuisine. Probably Chicken tobacco known in USA as Greek chicken.
Shannon, you wrote: "It's a real tragedy that there are no Georgian restaurants in the Washington, DC area, only Russian eateries" I would say that most Russian restaurants in the US really represent the entire x-USSR. So, they serve a lot of Georgian dishes (shashlyk and satsivi for example). Uzbek dishes are also popular. Often it reflects the geographical origin of the owners, but restaurants still call themselves Russian.
Also, in Brooklyn they offer faux French dishes:-) The real traditional Russian food, especially the one based on the Russian Empire traditions is not easy to find. Perhaps Cafe Pushkin in Moscow:-)
In DC, the most popular Russian restaurant is Mari Vanna, but I do not like it! First, it is very expensive. Second, the menu is limited and filled with Russian dishes I don't like. You can look at the menu here - http://www.marivanna.ru/washington/#/menu/. What looks tasty to you? :)
Yes, boring, small and expensive. This is not my dining style, and I've only eaten there once with my Russian friend. I like more casual places, with big portions and a lot of variety on the menu.
Khapapuri.... mmm, I love it. I make it maybe not as real Georgians are but the best I could. :) Also I like sacivi (I hope I spelled it correctly): the chicken with the garlic-nuts souse. Lobio is good too (the beans dish). Actually, I could say that a lot of Georgian food are really delicious and good. As I know, Georgian culinary traditions went back the centuries and people still keep them through the generations.
It's more vibrant and spicy, when compared to Russian food. It seems they don't eat as much fish, but maybe I'm wrong. I don't like any type of seafood. These bread dishes become very heavy after awhile, but they are damn good! :))
Yes. In my taste Georgian food is more spicy. Not hot but spicy. Traditionally, as I know, Georgian people use and mix a lot of herbs. I'm not sure about the seafood there but as I know they eat fish dishes. :) Also, they use a lot of milk products and cheese. Different kind of homemade, farmer, pickled cheese. With the warm bread... delicious! I think all bread dishes are heavy. :) But if combine them with the vegetables and do not eat too much... it's good.
What those poor montagnards know about proper food? Would you think that Tennessee hillbillies are more sophisticated in regards to food than Charleston or Richmond gents? Look for Armenian, Azeri, Persian or Uzbek cuisine.
What do you have against Georgians? And don't insult Tennessee hillbillies. :)) This is one of my favorite States! Btw, I have no idea what Uzbek cuisine is. How does it differ from Georgian or Russian food?
I mentioned Uzbek food in my previous comment. It is the food of Central Asia. They are landlocked, so they are big on meat, especially lamb. It is kind of similar to Afghan food. Lots of rice pilaf, different kinds of meat dumplings called "manty", and various grilled lamb, beef and chicken dishes. They also use youghurt a lot, like their Turkish ethnic cousins. Georgian food is more spicy, I would think. And more imaginative with sauces. As for Russian food... Meat, cabbage, potatoes, herring, and mayonnaise. I know some people will not like that comment. OK, just kidding:-) Russian food is grreat! But it is much better because we borrowed a lot fromour non-Russian countrymen:-)
I don't like any type of fish and hate mayo! Plus, I noticed in Russia a lot of dishes are served cold. For instance, at the meals I ate with the villagers, the kholodets were cold, various mushroom dishes cold, cold salads and cucumbers. The only thing hot was the potatoes. :) I really prefer warm dishes when I'm sitting down to eat a hearty feast. I never once tasted anything spicy in Russia.
