    🍽 Special thank you to www.pomegranat...
    As I mention in the introduction to this video, I believe Russian food is one of the most underrated cuisines in the entire world. Also, I never truly experienced Georgian food until today either, and I'm now at that to my list as well!
    Russian food in this video includes Beef Stroganoff, Borscht, Pelmeni, and Medovik, Russian Honey Cake.
    Georgian food in this video includes Chachapuli, Adjaruli Khachapuri, Khinkali, Shashlyk, and amazing Georgian wine.
    If you ever have the opportunity to try Russian food or Georgian food, I highly recommend it. If you are ever in San Diego, California looking for a great place to eat dinner - come to Pomegranate Restaurant in North Park and tell them I sent you!

It was more like a union of many different countries with their own past, history, culture, traditions, people AND cuisines that date way back. Like waaaayyy back before the Soviet Union was created. You my friend have no idea about the history lol like I said USSR was NOT a country and those countries that were members of the USSR were independent countries on their own and were created and established way before the USSR. They were NOT created after the soviet union collapsed lol If you were born in the USSR you should know that. Oh and I am also from the ex-soviet country and trust me, the majority of the ex-soviet countries, especially today are definitely not proud of their soviet history and also trust me we do not really say that we are from the ex soviet country. :) because that is nothing to be proud of. Saying “cuisines of the former USSR” implies you don’t give a shit about these countrie’s past or are not acknowledging their history before the soviet era, also implies those foods represent the USSR or were invented during the USSR and simply saying USSR deletes the identity of the countries that were the part of the USSR (against their will by the way), which is disrespectful and ignorant. :)

If you say only Georgian or only Russian cuisine it is also correct, but Russian/Georgian is a real thing, especially in the US.

On the other hand, If Georgian food migrated to Russia, SSSR or elsewhere, this just means that Georgian food migrated there, nothing more. Of course its your right which terms you prefer to use but this cannot change the fact that you have problems with the understanding of the meaning of the terms you are employing. Ultimately, the correct name of this is plagiarism. You are just biased. Its up to you, so good luck.

      @mikheilmgebrishvili9571 3 роки тому

      One tiny note:
      Both Khvanchkara and Kindzmarauli are just Zones in Georgia, (Khvanchkara is village in Racha( High mountain region in Caucasus mountains) and Kindzmarauli is Zone in Kakheti Under Caucasus mountains near river Duruji)
      In Kindzmarauli zone most famous grapes are Saperavi and Rqawiteli, while wine in Khvanchkara is made with mix of Aleqsandrouli and Mujuretuli.
      So, Wine called Kvanchara is mix of two species of wine grape made in village of Khvanchkara (Region of Racha) , while Kindzmarauli is a zone in Kakheti region, and wine made out of grapes ( most popular are Saperavi and Rqawiteli) there is called Kindzmarauli.
