Georgian Food Taste Test - 5 dishes to try in Kiev, Ukraine

[@liulep]

I ate Georgian food in Georgia :) There is beautiful town Signagi. There you can see beautiful views of Alazan valley, walk on beautiful streets, breath super clean air and eat super tasty food. My favourite Georgian food is hinkali, hachapuri and sweet churchhella. The best churchhella is from Signagi. Also in Signagi you can visit art museum with original artworks of Nikolo Pirosmani.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Wonderful to hear about your experiences. We'd love to visit Georgia someday. Hopefully next year for the first time :)

[@tinatindedabrishvili17]

I'm Georgian and I'm so glad that you have good memories from my country. 💖

[@sabussy212]

Yeah i agree I’m Georgian and khinkali is delicious like its so damn good i could eat it all day except id get way fat lol but really its delicious

[@Geoarchitect]

Georgian cuisine isnt a mix, its just Georgian ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Good point.

[@levankukchishvili4494]

you welcom

[@gyoung315]

Exactly!

[@barbarazayac4782]

Hi I'm a Ukrainian Canadian and have never been to the Ukraine so I want to thank you guys for these wonderful videos. Have been following you since Thailand. I have been to Thailand and really want to go back. Thanks again.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Ah, that is cool to hear. Where in Canada do you live? I'm from Vancouver Island and Audrey has family in Brampton.

[@barbarazayac4782]

We live in Canada's capital, Ottawa. My Mother grew up in Brampton. I was born in Winnipeg and have lived in Cold Lake Alta.. My Ukrainian relatives were Manitoba wheat farmers, but I'm an Air Force "Brat". All the Ukrainian food is so Yummy but very labour-intensive. You make wonderful videos and are a real cute couple. Cheers from Ottawa!

[@fangirls169]

Am I only georgian here?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Good question :) We hope to visit Georgia next year. Any places you'd recommend?

[@fangirls169]

I'm sorry , I don't have any recommendations 😭 I wish I could help you 💜

[@nutsamishelashvili360]

Hi guys :)) I' m from Georgia too. I was really happy to see this video about Georgian food on your channel. At first you should visit capital of Georgia Tbilisi :) You have to see Abanotubani there. It's famous of its public sulfur baths and very spectacular views. I hope next will be Georgia

I had Georgian food( vegetarian ) at Budapest .It was very tasty .Awsome

[@rachelandnick]

Love the commentating while Sam walks 😂

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL, I have a feeling Audrey will do more of this in the future ;)

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos haha looking forward to it.

[@anmekazaki5185]

i am georgian and i rlly love that you guys like our food

[@samuelandaudrey]

It was such delicious food. We'd love to try more :)

[@anmekazaki5185]

tnx guys you mad me happy isub and like didnt forgot notifi

[@liulep]

Also in Kyiv there are lots of hachapuri kiosks with hachapuri to go :) In each kiosk totally different hachapuri(different receipts,form), but it's so tasty everywhere.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oooh, if we had more time would love to do a whole video about that :)

[@mycommentsable]

Love your take on food! And at the beginning of this video you passed by my house :) Residing in downtown Kyiv and eating local food is heaven!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Woah! We must have been close to next door neighbors as our apartment was just a few blocks away from the restaurant. At what part of the video did we pass your house? Ah, this area was great. So many good restaurants and nearby two metro stops.

[@mycommentsable]

You can see my balcony between 0:08 and 0:21. And slowly but surely Kyiv is turning to a destination for foodies. FYI, these guys (see the link below) regularly cover new eateries of all sorts here and elsewhere in Ukraine and the range of variation is gobsmacking! They don't have it in English, I'm afraid, but translate.google knows it all: bzh.life/posts/mesta-i-veschi-zavedeniya-sentyabrya-2017

[@snowywinter9]

No kidding - don't mess around with Sam when he is on his food mission, else you are screwed! Seriously guys - you should visit the other lesser known former soviet republics, and tell us about the food and geography! Bring your drone! Your Kyrgyz series is my all-time favorite! Wonderful job thus far!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Hahaha...when I'm hangry watch out ;) Ah, we'd love to get the drone out again soon. We've been traveling through too many cities of late.

[@aleksandreivanashvili6018]

i'm Georgian and loved your video and loved your commentary. appreciate

Thank you very much!

[@mithundas1439]

I love Georgian food. You should visit Georgia, it is a great country

[@SvetlanaSVD]

Love your Kiev videos! Thank you for such warm attitude towards our city)))) There's much more fun food we have. I personally like Musafir (it's Tatars' restaurant, they moved from Crimea in 2014) and Rebra&Kotlety (they have contemporary versions of Kiev Chicken) ...

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thanks for those recommendations!

[@mylonash7136]

Nomadic Samuel living the risky life ... walking outside the sidewalk construction bridge. Crazy! Next thing you know he will cross the street prior to the cross walk turns green. Lucky for him he has Audrey there to grab his belt loop and save his life. Great fun! LOL

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL, yeah I'd pretty much be lost without Audrey. Correct observation ;)

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

Love the RED Wine here.. Better than... UKRAINE one.. GEORGIAN food.. lovely...

Ah, Georgian wine is so good and quite underrated :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

It sure is! We loved it!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! :)

[@Creativityinthekitchen]

My favorites are the salad and this 6:32 dish :) (Keto-friendly Georgian food)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! That salad was sure memorable :)

[@lerchan]

First 1 min cracked me up. Sam man on mission. Love you guys.

[@lerchan]

Stuffed grape leaves is amazing, I assume it's similar to what I had at Cappadocia Turkey . We learned how to make it in cooking class. Texture is soft because it's stewed for sometime. Delightful!

[@joyjoyoo]

Lerchan G stomp stomp stomp

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahaha...thanks. Not sure whether to take it as a compliment or to be totally embarrassed ;) LOL

[@samuelandaudrey]

The ogre in search of food.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, would love to learn how to make it. Have you tried making it at home?

[@OdettaBOOOM]

I cant believe you guys hadn’t tried dolma before! you’ve been everywhere! (this is so popular even in LA lol). Now I want some..

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We sure have been missing out I must say. What kind of places do you find it in LA?

[@OdettaBOOOM]

Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thats the funny part! at whole food’s oh so trendy food bar and the coffee bean (LA’s starbucks).. they sell lunch boxes with dolma and a side of hummus lol. WF’s dolma is actually pretty good but meat-filled dolma is not that common, I think we get the turkish version, which is rice.. still good! and vegan-friendly.

[@pacadamianmotato]

Actulally dolma is Azerbaijani food. Dolma means 'filled up': doldurmaq - to fill, and your add -a suffix which makes it filled up. SO that your grape leaf is filled up.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thanks for letting us know!

[@giolomitashvili9594]

actually its balkan and caucasian food, so u ll see that food in armenian, greek and in other's cuisine too. :)))

Hello blue eyes! :) Glad you like Georgian food! ❤️

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks, we did enjoy it.

[@wilburbonzo]

5:47 Dolma is popular in Greece and the middle east as well

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, good to know! We'll be looking out for that more from now on. Sooo good!

[@mishagelenava2962]

The name itself is Turkic. I don't know where the dish itself originated from. Armenians and Turks argue over it very often. We, Georgians mostly don't consider it as originally Georgian and it's not one of the most popular dishes here, but we make it too. But we don't call it dolma, we call it tolma.

[@dbwatx931]

Congratulations on a 100k subscribers!

[@TravellerYT]

Nice video and delicious looking food. This video has inspired us to consider a trip to Kiev! Enjoy your travels. Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! Ah, I'd highly recommend it. Ukraine is one of the most underrated countries we've ever visited. So much to offer and yet so few people visiting.

You are welcome and thanks again. Enjoy the upcoming weekend, Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.

I lived in the middle east for 10 years and this gorgian food is very similar especially the grape leaves

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is cool to hear! What are some of your favorite dishes from the region?

[@ItsAstie]

Georgia doesn't belongs to middle east.

[@mukbangsandcloggedarteries2357]

Lukson it is not in the middle east but it's cuisine has middle eastern influences jee dumbass

[@iraklimagradze2736]

Georgian food doesn't have middle eastern influence, but does have some oriental influence. Middle east just doesn't make any sense

Thank you very much! We'd love to visit soon. Where do you recommend going?

[@paholainen100]

Definitely check out Tbilisi - it's the capital and probably my favourite place. Batumi is also very interesting ( but different to TBILISI). If you have time check out the countryside too - I'd recommend Svaneti

Thank you! Really appreciate you sharing that with us.

This eggplant wrapped thing came to Ukraine from Georgia. I love it, though I don't know how to pronounce its name. Dolma is like a ukrainian cabbage roll, but in Georgia they got minced meat wrapped in grapes leaves instead

No khachapuri or kenkali? Spend 5 weeks in Ukraine and 3 I'm Georgia last year. Loved both. Gotta go to Georgia! Almost as cheap as Ukraine and such an amazing country. With in a few hours Marshuka ride from Tbilisi can be in high desert visiting cave monastery along Azurbisian border, visiting wine country or snow capped mountains along the Russian border!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, thanks for the recommendations! Going to Georgia is near the top of our list for next year :)

[@iadoreapplehead]

Have you tried khinkali? It blew me away when I first visited Georgia, it was so good! 🤤

[@samuelandaudrey]

Oh, we'll have to try that next time.

Georgia is like the Italy of the Caucuses

[@samuelandaudrey]

Would love to visit someday.

Oh my! A good reason for us to come back. That was one of our favorite restaurants of the year.

I liked Georgian food and restaurants in Kyiv more than in Georgia. It was much easier to order and communicate as hardly anybody spoke English in Georgia and they often did not care to translate the menu either. The staff was friendlier and more attentive, too.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is fascinating to hear. I had no idea Georgian food was so popular in Ukraine prior to visiting.

[@teimurazivachadze3810]

Hi guys, those dishes look interesting. I've had dolmas before but I didn't like them, I guess the taste of the vine leaves is an acquired taste. The other dishes look great

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! I think it could definitely be an acquired taste for some. We ordered a lot of food. Could have used a friend to help us out.
