<span style="font-family: Sylfaen, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Georgian cuisine</b> is an integral part of <i>Georgian culture</i>. Those who have heard of Georgia know that this is a small, very beautiful country in the eastern part of Europe, in the Caucasus region. Georgia connects Europe and Asia. That is its geographical location that makes it that <b>Georgian cuisine</b> is a bland of European and Asian culture. Notwithstanding that Georgia is very small, the people there are very different. There are thirteen parts Georgia and the people of each part has its own characteristic cultural signs. It can be said that <b>Georgian cuisine</b> is combine creation of thirteen different culture of people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Sylfaen, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The geography of Georgia has done its great bit in diferenciation of people. One of the most famous Russian poet said - “Georgia is the country where it’s possible to see all the seasons at once”. This ise really true. The east Georgia is comparatively situated on the lowland, there are the deserts here. To the north Caucasus top of mountain goes on and the snow is there in every season of a year. In the south there are the steppes and in the west it borders the black sea, tropical one. You can swim and sunbath in the <i>black sea</i> and than fly to <i>swaneti</i> (to the north) in an hour and ski there the same day. It turns out that the majority population of Georgia lives in different nature in one season of a year. It leads to the unique character of <b>Georgian cuisine</b>. You can recognize <i>Georgian character</i> in each <i>Georgian meal</i>. For example, the most <i>Megrelian</i> (the vest part of Georgia) meals are bitter and it can be explained by <i>Megrelians</i> temperament.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Sylfaen, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Georgian cuisine</b> is distinguished by a kind of exotic.

Of course, there are plenty of Georgian <a href="http://vegetablesaladrecipes.net/">salad recipes</a>, but in the <b>Georgian cuisine</b> meat dishes prevails.</span></div>
