SUPRA - A Georgian Feast in St Peter’s - Thurs 13 Aug - Cork on a Fork
Fans of Georgian w**e, cuisine and culture for a long time, we are delighted to finally have the opportunity to welcome a team of Georgian chefs and w**emakers from Poliphonia Restaurant Tbilisi and Pheasant’s Tears W**ery to Cork, to create a special ‘Cork’ Supra.
Supra means “tablecloth” and is used to describe how shared dishes accumulate over the course of the meal to cover the table. Georgians, like the Irish, are incredible hosts, and even better storytellers - the Supra is their hospitality ritual that binds food, w**e and storytelling into a single shared experience. Dishes, w**e and toasts are shared over the course of the meal, resulting in a truly convivial experience.
Georgian cuisine has been shaped by its location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia: Persian spices, Ottoman techniques and ancient Caucasian traditions all leave their imprint. Famous for its use of walnuts, fresh herbs, ferments and filled breads, we are excited to marry Georgian recipes with Cork’s finest seasonal ingredients: over the past months, our kitchen has been working with local producers to gather a larder of local ingredients, which we’ve pickled and fermented in Georgian tradition for the meal. It’s the time of year when there’s a wealth of delicious fresh fruit and vegetables to work with, so this will also be a celebration of Cork’s producers.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Georgia is its w**e - widely recognised as the oldest w**e-producing region in the world, with over 8000 vintages, w**e is fermented and aged in qvevri—large clay vessels buried underground. At a supra, Georgian w**e is not poured casually. It is introduced through toasts and no Supra is complete without a Tamada (toastmaster). We’re thrilled to welcome John Wurdeman of Pheasant’s Tears to guide us through the w**es and lead the toasts. John is an incredibly eloquent speaker who can transport one to Georgia simply through words.
Due to the popularity of this event, it sold out quickly, but the good news is we’ve released some additional tickets for those who’d like to experience the magic of a Supra. See link in bio
