Georgian cuisine refers to the cooking styles and dishes with origins in the nation of Georgia and as prepared by Georgian people around the world. Georgian cuisine is specific to its country of origin. But through the centuries it has also been influenced not only by other Middle Eastern and European culinary traditions, but also those of the surrounding Western Asia nations.
Each historical province of Georgia has its own distinct culinary tradition such as Megrelian, Kakhetian, and Imeretian cuisines with unique flavors from blends of various indiginous herbs and spices. And of course, in addition to many meat dishes, Georgian cuisine is also rich in a variety of vegetarian specialties.
Russian cuisine derives its varied character from the vast, multi-cultural and ethnically rich peoples. From its peasant beginnings centuries ago, it has evolved from the rural population to bring warmth and comfort in an often harsh climate with diverse combinations of the plentiful fish, poultry, game, mushrooms, berries, and honey. Soups and stews full of flavor were wonderfully savory meals in themselves or great accompaniments for a main course, and all were prepared with seasonal or specially preserved produce, fish and meats. Crops of rye, wheat, barley, millet and potatoes provided the ingredients for a vast array of breads, pancakes, and cereals, And let us not forget their most famous offspring: beer, and vodka. This wholly native food still remains the central cuisine for the vast majority of Russians as we move well into the 21th century.
