Culinary cross-cultures

 As I wrap up my time here, of course I am keeping up with my hobby of bridging cultures through food. I can't believe I never knew about these pastries (pictured above), which I've already forgotten the name of. Basically it's a giant circle of dumpling dough, folded around cheese and fried. Holy smokes.

Some people claim Georgians are unwilling to try new food.
I am lucky because my host family likes everything.

Alas, there is no real American cuisine besides hamburgers, and I am a vegetarian, so it's more challenging for the exchange to travel in the other direction. Instead, I introduced Larissa and Tamta to Indian food, which as you can see was a smashing success.
