A typical evening in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia: space at the table is running out, so we pile up. If you want to get your hands on the cheese-filled Khachapuri bread, you first have to put away the plates with the aubergine rolls and the walnut spreads. We’re all already pretty full and when we look questioningly at our Georgian hosts – given the never-ending flood of plates – they explain to us that these were just the starters. A Georgian Supra is not a meal, but a culinary event. A social ritual, often lasting several hours, in which birthdays, weddings, religious holidays or the arrival of guests are celebrated.
