Best food in FSU is definitely georgian food ......satsivi, khinkali, shashliks, adjapsandali, tchakapuli, harcho, chahohbili, khatchapuri, lobio, ect, everything is mouth-watering. My n°2 favorite cuisine in the world - after french. Georgian wines (Mukuzani, Saperavi or Napareuli to name a few) are great also.
Mate, nail on the head. I went to a Georgian restaurant in Minsk (one nearest Nemiga Metro stop) and the food was just amazing, washed down by bottle of Khvanchkara. What a contrast with that and the local crap. Russians do have some bad food. The USSR was lucky to have Georgia within its ranks. Can you imagine living off Ukrainian borsch, caviar, heavy mayonnaise dowsed salad or fermented yak milk from Tajikistan.
Did I also mention Georgian hospitality?
It will never be the same.
