Borscht
(Georgian) Kharcho - this was fantastic
Pelmeni stuffed with meat, served with sour cream
Carrot, apple & walnut salad
Fresh blini with trout caviar & salmon
Beef Stroganoff
Cabbage rolls with sour cream
All enjoyed with some local black beer & Georgian red wine - it was a fine dinner. The sceptics in the family were converted ☺️
