I had never sampled so much new food in just one day let alone one sitting. Usually, it took an entire trip to get down only a few dishes.
Dan, my host, took me to lunch and ordered a tableful of Georgian dishes. I was still under the Central European time; that means I had lunch at 10 o’clock in the morning. I ate so much I almost fell asleep in the car after and had to pinch myself to stay awake and chit chat with Dan.
So what did you have for lunch?
Eggplant rolls
Khankali (meat filled dumpling)
Fried baby potatoes
Khachapuri (cheese pie), a popular Georgian dish
Grilled Pork with Onion and Pomegranate
A big plate of vegetable (more like feeding rabbit instead of human)
Tarragon soda (the same leaves I’m munching above) [photo source]
Of course a glass of Georgian wine
