| Food, drink and related customs in Georgia Life may be difficult in Georgia but the magnificent climate and rich land does provide plenty of excellent food and to Georgians family life and good food are all-important. Also Georgians are very hospitable and they want to share everything with you. So if you are invited to a Georgian home you will be well looked after. Fresh fruit, salads and vegetables as available, conserves, fresh meat and sausages, a wide variety of drinks, breads, pasties and cakes will all be served. If alcoholic drinks are served then be prepared to follow the protocol, the tamada or toastmaster, will pour out the drinks which should not be drunk until he makes a toast. It is possible to ask permission to add to the toast, then you should drink your glass. This will be re-filled and the process repeated. If you do not wish to drink so much just take a small sip only. This will be accepted - you can also symbolically raise your glass at each toast having previously explained you do not drink. |  | |
