The Supra Experience

A supra is a traditional Georgian meal, led by a toastmaster. Mountains of food and drink await guests. The toastmaster leads the table through a series of toasts for family, friends, good health, and many other things. Some examples of the food include: various dishes of pork, wild chicken, goat, and beef, khinkali (dumplings with meat), khachapuri (cheese bread), cheese, regular bread, various desserts and fruit, corn pudding (like grits) with cheese, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. Tkemali is a tart plum sauce, often referred to as "Georgian ketchup". The meal ends with Turkish coffee (very thick and a little grainy at the bottom). Below are some pictures from the supras during our West Georgia travels.
