Regarding Svaneti, it was certainly an interesting experience, but not quite revelatory in terms of food. A lot of khachapuri, cheese, potatoes and cheese, honey and matsoni, and the occasional pinch of Svaneti salt. If you like spice, consider buying a container or bag of Adjika in the market in Zugdidi on your way up. Regarding narrative and culture, Svaneti is definitely an experience. Maybe you saw our 3-part series on it: http://www.uncorneredmarket.com/series/svaneti/ @James: I hope and trust you are enjoying Georgia and the Georgian people.

I'm teaching in Imereti, near Kutaisi, and the food is good but far too mild for my tastes. I'm hoping Svaneti will be the revelation it was for you all.
