14:02 * 08.02.14
In a news story devoted to Sochi, the 2014 World Olympics capital, the
CNN addresses the local cuisine which it says will offer guests
predominantly Armenian and Georgian dishes.
“With Armenians accounting for 20% of the city’s population, and close
proximity to Georgia, Sochi offers an impressive sampling of cuisine
beyond the dill and sour cream of traditional Russian fare,” reads the
report.
It provides addresses of national food cuisines where visitors can
taste the traditional Armenian lavash (wood fired bread) and clay-pot
stews and the favorite Georgian chakhokhbili (chicken in garlic
sauce).
The report further refers to the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site which partially overlaps with Sochi National Park
in the Western Caucasus.
