Ok. We all love to eat!

Moving to this fascinating land my palate has at times has been overwhelmed with some very delicious meals. There is a great difference in the taste of food. More natural, less sweet, less salt with flavor I am not used to. There are few “grocery” type stores with goods and products sold by small, individually owned market stands. The people who manage these culinary store fronts are the salt of the earth and come from exotic places such as Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, all former southern Soviet Republics.

Which brings me to Georgia. No not the “Atlanta” Georgia, but the country of the same name.

Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, it is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by Russia, to the east by Azerbaijan, and to the south by Armenia and Turkey. Thank you Wikipedia for the geography positioning.

Sooo, my normal idea of food delivery concerns itself with Sausage Pizza and various versions of Chinese. When my wife ask if we should do delivery I naturally said sure.

Little did I expect this;

This unique and super tasting food are known as Khinkali. These Georgian dumplings, which originated in the mountains of Pshavi, Tusheti and Khevsureti are filled with spicy meat and broth. Very good and enjoyable. If i understand the eating procedure correctly, you grab the stem, turn the Khinkali over and squeeze gently and take a bite. It worked, almost. I will save you the details. Anyhow the food is epic. Also ordered shish-cabob, stuffed eggplant and numerous pizza like disks with mushroom, beef, cheese. One better tasting than the other.

Khinkali…How many pancakes with the Moo Shu Pork?
