Tips for Gastronomy

How to Eat Khinkali

Never use a knife and fork. Grab the dumpling by the top nub ('kudi'), take a small bite out of the side, drink the tasty broth inside, and then eat the rest (leaving the hard nub on the plate).

The Culture of Toast ('Supra')

At traditional banquets ('Supra') led by the toastmaster ('Tamada'), never drink wine before an official toast has been given.

Be careful with the Chacha

Traditional pomace distilled from grapes ('Chacha') usually has between 50% and 65% alcohol content; take it in moderation.
