Having nibbled one down to the pointed bit on the end, I felt I deserve some recognition for the achievement
Hard to believe this comes from the same place as Katchapuri, which is ace. Neil |

101 forum posts 11 photos | Thanks Neil - that brings back memories - I've enjoyed both Churchkhela and Khachapuri! A ship management company I used to work for had a Georgian fleet under management, and I used to sail with then from time to time - marvellous people, and I had a Georgian ex-Radio Officer Evgeniy (pronounced zhennnya) on my team for some years. Have been given (and enjoyed) Churchkhela onboard but possibly best export from Georgia is their champagne. Cooks onboard would prepare Khachapuri but would bemoan that they couldn't get the right sort of melting cheese to fill the bread boat. Some ingredients were the same but just different dining habits.... One of the first trips with this fleet, a Fleet Manager and myself had just joined and sat down to lunch. Fred, a typical Scots Chief Engineer and very dear late friend, was renowned for taking a few teaspoons of water in his coffee (I think the recipe was 3 spoons coffee and 4 spoons sugar) but on this occasion there was a pot of tea on the table so Fred poured himself a cup - and relished it. In his Maybole accent he said: Interesting ships as well - there was a remarkably capacious second radio room at the back of the accommodation, which by then only held the weather fax receiver - an excellent Russian set with what appeared to be better sensitivity than a Muirhead or JRC set, but the same ozone! That compartment, when the Georgian merchant vessels were trading under of the supervision of the Black Sea Fleet, had housed various radio monitoring equipment.
