How can an ancient insult and food be connected? It would seem a difficult and even absurd question! However, in our country there was such an interesting dish called Kharya.
Many people have heard such a slightly derogatory saying: “Kharya cracks”. It turns out that the text refers not to the face, but to the casserole. The fact is that originally, many different ingredients were put into Kharya. Because of such a strong variety, the casserole cracked. Rich merchants and nobles made a dish with an abundance of stuffing. Accordingly, when meat, fish and vegetables were too much, cooks asked: “Will not crack the jar?”
This interesting dish turns out to be incredibly nourishing
