Hinkali is supposed to be one of Georgian national dishes, a sort of dumpling filled with meat, black pepper and spices.
Especially interesting (to me) was the way it should be consumed. How I was told, one should take it for the top, and with other hand pinch it in the middle so the steam can go out from inside. Then, one should suck the juice from inside, and then eat everything else, but not the very top. Hm, hope you understood it :) If I'm wrong, well.. lets hope some native Georgians will explain it here in comments/critiques :)

It was so funny listening average Georgians claiming how many of them they can eat :) Everyone claimed to eat at least 10 or 15, and only after, they can start their meals :) ahah :) same would happen back home in Serbia with burek or cevapcici ;)
For me, 5 hinkali was pretty enough :)

and by the way, Kazbegi beer was just excellent!

Hi Marko,

Himmm. They seem delicious. They are so big from my mother’s style. I know some proverb that tells it must be fit at least 40 in one table spoon for girls who makes this ravioli and want to get married. Beer is not good drink for me. I prefer garlic-yoghurt sauce on it with dried red paprika. By the way out of focus photo is not important now ;) Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi,Marko!
Lovely georgian food! This is KHINKALI! Many years ago -25 khinkalis is normal for me!
Now I am vegitarian:)
Nice shot from the georgian real life!
Regards!

Wow, Marco you should not have posted that photo. I almost ate my monitor :) Anyway, I can contest and dispute the following statement: "..and then eat everything else, but not the very top" I love to eat the very top of Khinkali. Also, only weak Georgians eat 10-15 Khinkali (no offence to Serbs who eat only 5). :) Usually, it’s being consumed at an alarming rate for foreigners who happen to witness it.

In conclusion, you have made my day by posting that photo, reminding me of what I’m missing while away from my native land :(

Thanks a lot Marco

Dear Marco,

I also like Khinkali but of course as a woman I am not able to eat many of them. Last time (last august)when I was in transit through Georgia and visiting my friends I managed to eat 5 khinkali. It was very late, almost midnight so I preferred not to exeggerate with the quantity. Our table looked the same as yours: khinkali and Kazbegi beer. Although I prefer red wine (especially in Georgia)I like Kazbegi a lot, it's my favourite Georgian beer.
I definately became hungry now.
I would sharpen your picture a bit.
Warm greetings from covered by snow Poland
