The Georgian appetiser pkhali “could be a superfood for vegans all over the world,” an article from BBC says.
In the piece, Sarah Freeman reviews the country’s cuisine after her visit at the invitation of the Georgian National Tourism Administration.
“A culinary chameleon, pkhali can be slathered on toast as a vegan pâté, served mezze-style as a flavourful dip, or spooned – along with other cold appetisers – into a special bowl for sharing known as a gobi. Above all, pkhali is a mainstay of the supra – a structured dinner party that celebrates Georgian’s boundless hospitality and melting pot cuisine,” reads the article.
Freeman describes Georgian dishes, markets in the capital of Tbilisi and the country’s third largest city of Kutaisi, as well as food facilities where visitors can taste vegetarian dishes.

The Georgian winemaking and feasting culture, as well as the country’s tourist potential, are the subject of a new article in the German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The Daily Mail has published an article by Rachael Bunyan, which says that grapes used to make popular French, Italian and Spanish wines may not be from Europe but instead from the "western Asian" country of Georgia.
BBC has published an article written by Taylor Weidman about Georgia’s artisanal cheesemaking tradition, which was forced underground due to an oppressive Soviet-planned economy, though “the mother of Georgian cheese”, Ana Mikadze-Chikvaidze is dedicated to bring the ancient varieties back.
