Khachapuri and Khinkali among Europe’s 55 dishes worth traveling for

30.11.2013. Britain's Daily Mail gives a list of fifty five European Foods Worth Traveling For. Two Georgian dishes – khachapuri  and khinkali are among them.

‘Even if we don’t always remember the history behind the Colosseum, the significance of Tower of London, or who commissioned Versailles, after returning home from a trip, we can almost always remember what we ate while we were there.

Georgian dish that is on Daily Mail’s list of foods worth traveling for is khachapuri: ‘This indulgent dish is like a blank canvas for different flavors. From Georgia, khachapuri is cheese-filled bread often topped with egg and butter. Because of its simplicity, there are many variations, and cooks often add potatoes, various cheeses, and sauces to the dish’.

Second Georgian dish on the list is khinkali. ‘These Georgian dumplings are filled with mixtures of raw, spiced meats and various vegetables. The dumplings are prepared by being stuffed and then boiled, trapping the meat’s juice inside as the filling cooks. The result is a delicious, precious liquid that customers try not to spill as they eat the dumpling’, the Daily Mail informs.
