Many people consider Georgian cuisine to be the most striking cuisine in the world. The fact is that it consists of many unusual dishes that are not found in any other gastronomic culture. In Georgia, for example, there is a patrimony of the people – khachapuri. As well as 250 varieties of cheese, from which various viands are created.
In addition to cheese and pheasants, vegetables are honored in this country. It is worth noting that Georgians respect eggplants. For this reason, many appetizers are prepared from this vegetable. Let’s tell about Georgian eggplant rolls.
