I was several times back in the USSR. You are absolutely right about the food. But what is make Republic of Georgia unique place it is Georgian people.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, you are absolutely right, Anna. I'll be making a video about things to see and do in Georgia soon and I'll certainly mention the wonderful people! Thanks for your comment.

[@FindNewRoads4614]

We’ve been there last January, i love the country, the wines, khachapuri w/ egg and khinkali and painted jewelries. Planning to go back next year spring. I love you Iona.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Excellent, glad you had a chance to visit and will be going back!

[@Art-xd9xw]

And this is just small introduce of Georgian dishes. They have much more fantastic foods!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

You are SO right, Artem, this is just scratching the surface of the amazing Georgian dishes there are to enjoy there, indeed!

[@RG-yk4xl]

Went to Georgia in 2016. Every dish was delicious and flavorful. Fav country

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, I would definitely have to agree!

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

I'll be moving to Georgia later this year and am so excited! The food, the people, the landscapes, the culture, all look so inviting. I've been watching as many videos and doing as much research as I can before I go! ❤️

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Good for you, I’m very jealous and would like to move there myself some time.

[@ninicoolification]

@@ContinentalDrifter actually, it is very convinient to live in Georgia and get American pension. everything is very cheap here compared to the US but not for locals because it is very hard to earn money here in Georgia :(

[@richie7201]

I think you found yourself an instant fan. Thanks for the video!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Welcome aboard, and thanks for following along!

[@leahfrishling7088]

I was born there. The food is brilliant. It's healthy glorious and sophisticated. It's heavenly 😍

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Wow, that's fantastic, Leah. Yes, the food in Georgia is simply out of this world. I'm looking forward to putting out more videos on your lovely country, so please stay tuned for those!

[@teasichinava]

Actually every region of Georgia is famous with it's own dishes, and believe me all of them are delicious. Next time try western Georgia, grits, walnut stuff vegies, kharcho (walnut paste beef or chicken stew) with grits, cheesy grits (elarji), megrelian khachapuri, and other. Try bean and meet things. You will love it.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Indeed, of course you are right, Tea. I can’t wait to explore other parts of Georgia and try their specialties soon.

[@uberneycardona7676]

Thanks, Rafael...you made me salivate whit this video..I'm gonna try to make one of these dishes you recomend.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Please do, and I hope to try it when I come to Cali!

[@analelashvili7219]

By no means Georgian food is one of the best things one can experience. Unfortunately we in Norway have no Georgian restaurant. I suggest to try Chaqapuli one of my favs. 😊😋

[@ContinentalDrifter]

I'll certainly look for Chaqapuli next time I'm in town, for sure.

[@PascaleKavanagh]

Wow! That region has never been that interesting to me, but now I want to go on a food tour 😋

[@ContinentalDrifter]

This region has so much to offer it's incredible, and Georgia is a foodie's paradise. It's probably obvious but I make a point of incorporating the unique foods in all the places I travel to.

[@aso6437]

Never been there, but the food looks great.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Oh yes, it’s out of this world!

[@sophiakrause3944]

My family is partily from Georgia, even though I grew up in Germany. When I was younger me and my siblings called Khachapuri adjaruli always Eierschiffchen (egg boat) it's my favourite food

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Haha, that's perfect, and pretty much what it is, right?

[@LaurieKladis]

That looks awesome! Can't wait to experience it!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Oh yes, you're going to LOVE it!

[@Fiona3D]

Good thing we watched this AFTER dinner! Yummm!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Oh, for sure. Eating before watching any of my videos is probably a great idea, Michelle...haha!

[@giorgigiorgi6410]

I love Georgian foods 😋

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Isn’t it the best!

[@tikogudadze1659]

It so cute and adorable to see him replying to all the comments. Btw thank you for making video about GEORGIA 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Glad you're enjoying it, Tiko.

[@agkcareersalicia3756]

Awesome share and now I'm hungry. I too enjoy experiencing local food.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

OK, glad to hear it, and yes, food is such a big part of travel.

[@patrickp6679]

Yumm! Yumm! Would love to take a trip with you to taste this food.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

You know you're welcome anytime, my friend!

[@angieflynn-mciver9080]

You have such a knack for introducing places, people, and food I have never thought much about! Wonderful!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Thanks, Angie, and I'm still working on it. So glad you're along for the ride!

[@yolandaprietomendoza6953]

Next trip to Europe I will try. It seems to be a nice place to go.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, it certainly is, Yolanda.

[@Sagothh]

Great video!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Hey, thanks!

[@storiedawareness]

As someone who lives in Atlanta, I thought you might be talking about southern US food, yet was pleasantly surprised to learn about the Republic of Georgia. And the bread! Delicious.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Haha, that was something I thought about, to be sure, and so it's why I put the Georgian flag on the thumbnail, but thanks for watching!

[@teasichinava]

We (Georgians) eat a lot of cornbread, beans, grits, cheesy grits--so a little bit close to US Georgia :-)

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, very good to know!

[@johncampagna9652]

Can't believe what you can get for a dollar. Everything looks tasty.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, everything is fresh and incredibly delicious, and very reasonably priced, so it's doubly good!

[@vatoeradze2029]

Love from Georgia

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Thank you so much!

[@heatherchavin]

Okay, the Khachapuri Adjaruli! OMG!! All the things I'm not really supposed to be eating...definitely will make an exception when I head overseas.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, the KA has all the best food groups, but too much and it's not the best for you. You'll definitely have to make an exception when you go.

[@jeffpittman8725]

Seems like an interesting place that's affordable!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, Georgia is wonderful and very affordable by most standards.

[@brians2733]

I sadly had a trip to Georgia and Armenia cancelled last year due to the pandemic. I’m still trying to arrange a trip there because the food looks so amazing!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

That's fantastic, Brian, you're going to have a blast! BTW, if you'd like to travel with me and small group of 5 or 6 of my best friends/clients, be sure to check out this link for all the details on my October 2021 adventure: photoenrichment.com/treasures-of-armenia-tbilisi-georgia/ I've got everything planned out and organized (all you have to do is show up), and you can certainly arrive early, or stay late, to do other things on your own. My tours have all 5-star ratings. Let me know!

[@valueinspiration6410]

Getting hungry!. Amazing to see the type of food around the world that we are so unfamiliar with.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Glad I could introduce you to some new dishes!

[@kristinedzotsenidze823]

I am from Georgia🇬🇪❤

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Wonderful, thank you for having such a wonderful country with great people!

[@meshoghx]

Niice vid man☺️👍 I would like to ask you about the shop where u took the pastries. Plz drop the shop name in here thx🥰

[@ContinentalDrifter]

I'm sorry, but I don't have the name as it was all in Georgian. I do have a very blurry photo I took of the place from a fast-moving car, but I'm not sure you could even read it.

[@danielrosca6745]

yes and yes! but how about shashlik?

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Hmm, I don't know shashlik. I'll have to look for it next time.

[@LuKa-es7no]

6:52 actually we call it Tone

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Thanks for your comment King's Music, although I've done some research and I'm finding it is indeed called a tonir, and my local guides told me the same. Perhaps there are different names for it, I don't know, but thanks for taking the time to comment, I do appreciate it.

[@LuKa-es7no]

@@ContinentalDrifter Yes there are different names, Tonir is Armenian, Tone is Georgian, Tendir is Azerbaijan. BTW Great video

[@OrangeAni]

@@ContinentalDrifter Georgians call it "Tone" (e is pronounced as in "red") / "თონე". Hence "Tonis Puri" (Bread from Tone)

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Excellent, thanks for the clarification, I do appreciate it!

[@bacho84303]

I am happy that U enjoyed 😊I am missing home and yummy food . i satisfy myself watching u eating 😂

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Great, glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@SallyClapper]

Oh, the food! And so much gluten, I could cry as a Celiac. But now I'm going to go toast my gluten-free bagel with lox. Nowhere close to all this deliciousness!!!

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Oh, I don't envy you in that regard. There are still quite a few other wonderful foods in Georgia that you can enjoy, for sure.

[@firstgeorgian9301]

I’m from georgia 🇬🇪 You should try more food, thats just nothing. :))

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, you're absolutely right, but I had to start somewhere, right? 😆

[@firstgeorgian9301]

@@ContinentalDrifter You should, But eat somewhere in restaurants not in place like that)) i mean there isn’t tasty like everywhere! Respect! ✊

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, I love to eat at small locals-only places, or better yet, in people's homes, where the best food is made!

[@KarlMartell732]

I never accomplished to finish an Acharuli Khatchapuri, even if my belly wasn´t full of Khinkali :))

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Haha, that's too funny! Indeed they are probably meant for two people to eat, right?

[@ArianaFriedlander]

AND now I'm hungry....

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Haha, it worked!

[@iraklisuladze1185]

Not Tonir, but Tone Nice vid, thanks

[@ContinentalDrifter]

My bad, but good to know, thanks for the correction.

[@hyberbecka]

Name of Republic of Georgian in Georgian is "Sakartvelo", real name :) I am from there

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Yes, Becka, you are absolutely correct, and thanks for pointing this out!

[@k.d.6068]

Well, you have to visit georgias region called guria

[@ContinentalDrifter]

I would love to, perhaps the next time I’m there.

[@ninicoolification]

Under the Constitution of Georgia, out country's name is Georgia, not republic of Georgia :) as to the food, my absolute favourite food when I was not a vegetarian, was CHAKAPULI, it has the most unique dish, you should try it. This is the king of all dishes. I also wanted to say that the oven where the puri is baked is called tone (თონე) not tonir.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

OK, this is very good to know, I wasn't aware of this, so thanks for the correction. I'm not sure I've tried chakapuli, but I'll look for it next time, for sure.

[@Georgian2go]

Great video, I randomly found you as I was searching for new Videos about Georgia...There are also vegetarian versions of khinkali but I always go for the ones with meat...What I miss most about Georgia is the bread though...any other cravings can be satisfied by Georgian restaurants abroad. Btw. I'm Anna and I make Videos about the Georgian Language and Culture. We'd be happy if you stop by! (-: (liked your video)

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Great, thanks a lot, Anna. I’ll check out your channel.

Mamma Zoya’s, Moscow

[@ContinentalDrifter]

OK, good to know!

[@FREEDOM-yz4wl]

Bread and cheese need wine.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Oh, you are absolutely correct. And how about some chacha?

[@FREEDOM-yz4wl]

@@ContinentalDrifter better combination with chacha is , chaqafuli or xashi :dd

[@HeLLBoK]

Dude, tbilisi isn't that much, 3.7m is hole Georgia's population, Tbilisi is around 1.3-1.5m :)

[@ContinentalDrifter]

David, you are absolutely right, and I misspoke when I made it sound like I was saying that Tbilisi has a population of 3.7 million, but of course I meant that the entire country does, so I do apologize. Thanks for pointing this out!

[@davitgurjiani3043]

Thanx a lot for propaganding Georgia!!! Georgian food is the best!!! I have my own recepies but I am stupid about comps and I cant show my culinary !

I'm happy to do anything at all to help promote Georgia, Davit!

[@davitgurjiani3043]

[@kj8491]

You get robbed mate, nowhere does shoti puri costs 2 lari . it’s 1 lari everywhere Unless they gave you a free cheese too for that price.

[@ContinentalDrifter]

Haha, well, they did give me some cheese to try with it, but I'm sure they gave me the "foreigner" price, yes.

[@kj8491]

@@ContinentalDrifter Looks like that. I hate when things like that happens in my country, but economic situation in my country is so bad that some people make little bit extra things to get more money for living.. Not trying to search for excuses , but it is what it is. Things like that happens everywhere , even in a 1st world countries.
