    I emigrated from Germany to Batumi. The four cheese Chachapuri in Retro is unbeatable. Give me a hint, when you'll be in Batumi next time. And you should try the Schawarma in the Grill House nearby Batumi Breweri. The best i've ever had. I really enjoy your videos from Batumi ❤

      The Khachapuri was about 5 euros but that is the small one and I think most would struggle to finish.

  • @nellihovhannisyan2096
    @nellihovhannisyan2096 Před rokem +2

    I was going to visit Gia's Khachapuri restaurant until the owner made that stupid comment regarding Armenians. Georgian toxicity and insecurity must always show everywhere lol. They get butthurt when an Armenian bakes khachapuri or khinkali...I wonder how many Italians get insecure about the whole world baking pizzas or the Japanese when they see other nationalities make sushi. No more Gia's khachapuri for this Armenian lol.

    • @J.E.E
      @J.E.E  Před rokem +2

      Hello Nelli,
      I travel a lot and often come across some comments that could potentially offend, however I have learnt that in most cases people are not doing due to the fact that they have anything against a certain nationality or race and I have learnt to just let things slide.
      Honestly I don't think he had any intention of being derogatory towards Armenians but simply takes pride in his national dish and takes it personally.
      I did a video here in Latvia in an Italian restaurant owned by an Italian and he made a similar comment about pizzerias in Latvia.
      I am sure the English would feel the same about their breakfast or fish an chips.
      My lesson has been that people are emotional and sometimes say things, but if without bad intentions I don't let it affect me.
      As for his Khachapuri, I can honestly say that it is a new level and perhaps try it!!!
      All the best my friend and thank you for watching

      @nellihovhannisyan2096 Před rokem +1

      ⁠@@J.E.Eank you for the comment. The reason why I wrote the comment is because I’ve heard similar comments from Georgians regarding other dishes of theirs, so it’s not the first time. I’m not sure what you meant by mentioning English breakfast along with fish and chips as I find both dishes yummy and the first thing I try when I land in Britain is your breakfast and your fish and chips. I find England perhaps to be #1 spot for me in my list of favorite countries and cities. London is just jaw dropping having similar feelings for your other cities although I’d love the chance to throughly visit England next time. We Armenians love your Caroline Cox….she’s been a true blessing and a friend to us in time of trouble from the Azeri attacks 30 years ago to the devastating earthquake and to the recent war with Azerbaijan. She’s been a huge support to this day and never abandoned us. ❤
