Warm hand-made breads, addictive cheeses, flavoursome meats and Georgian regulars like tarragon, walnuts and agika (spicy paste) dominate a delicious menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some dishes that will tingle your tastebuds for days. (And remember you can try them on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/georgia-and-armenia-uncovered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trafalgar\u2019s Georgia tour<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6 gorgeous Georgian dishes to eat in your lifetime<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whisper it softly: but Georgian food has cause to call itself the world\u2019s ultimate comfort food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Khachapuri<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/10\/Large-Khachapuri-served-with-red-wine-in-a-restaurant-1137409632-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"khachapuri\" class=\"wp-image-871319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Large-Khachapuri-served-with-red-wine-in-a-restaurant-1137409632-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Large-Khachapuri-served-with-red-wine-in-a-restaurant-1137409632-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Large-Khachapuri-served-with-red-wine-in-a-restaurant-1137409632.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beloved by locals, khachapuri is cheesy bread. But not like you\u2019ve had it before. A dedicant crispy crust contrasts with a soft, heart-warming centre that makes you roll your eyes back in ecstasy upon trying. Now let\u2019s talk variations: You must try the classic imeretian khachapuri (yeast-infused pastry with and salted Imeretian cow\u2019s milk cheese). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as the the boat-shaped Adjarian khachapuri (pictured above) \u2013 a favourite of the indigenous Laz people who used to roam the Black Sea.
