CaucasTalk

The feast continues in Episode 35 as we get into the specifics of what food people here actually eat. We take you on a mouth-watering tour through the food groups revealing a surprisingly colorful variety of cuisine. We are helped again by Cristi who brings a gravy-boatload of experience to the conversation. For many here food is the pride of their people and the taste of home. Join us for the second-best way to experience it if you can’t taste it—talking about it!
