Feast Without Fear: Navigating a Georgian Supra on a Lectin-Free Diet

The Georgian Supra is a legendary feast overflowing with hospitality, toasts, and communal dishes. But for those avoiding lectins—proteins in many plants that can trigger digestive discomfort—traditional dishes like bean-laden lobio, tomato-based chashushuli, or walnut-packed satsivi can feel like a minefield. With mm food, you can confidently join the celebration without compromising dietary needs. Here’s how:

Step 1: Prep Before the Feast

• Translate & Prep: Use mm food to scan Georgian menus ahead of time. The app instantly translates khinkali (dumpling) fillings or pkhali (vegetable pâté) ingredients into your language.
• Set Alerts: Create a custom "Lectin-Free" filter blocking nightshades (tomatoes, peppers), legumes, grains, and dairy if needed. Save it for instant use later.

Step 2: Decode Dishes in Real-Time

At the restaurant:

1. Scan the menu with mm food’s camera for live translation.
2. Active filters will highlight safe options:
   • ✅ Green Lights: Grilled mtsvadi (skewered meat), ostri (beef stew sans tomatoes), or leafy green salads (verify dressing).
   • 🚫 Avoid: Khachapuri (bread), badrijani (eggplant rolls), or any dish flagged red by AI for hidden lectins like wheat flour or nuts.

Step 3: Communicate Confidently

• Use mm food’s "Ask the Chef" tool to generate Georgian translations like: "Can this be made without walnuts or tomato sauce?"
• Cross-check fried dishes—breading often contains wheat, but the AI will spot it even if menus omit details.

Lectin-Free Supra Staples to Savor

• Shkmeruli: Garlic chicken (confirm no flour in sauce).
• Kupati: Pork sausages (check for grain fillers).
• Simple Kebabs: Unmarinated meats grilled clean.
• Tkemali Sauce: Plum-based condition (safe if sugar-free).

Pro Tips

• Toast Wisely: Opt for dry red wine (avoid qvevri-fermented whites with skins) or cha cha (grape pomace brandy).
• Share Your Needs: Show servers your app-filtered menu to streamline ordering.

With mm food, the Supra’s warmth remains intact—minus the lectin anxiety. Eat boldly, celebrate freely, and let Georgia’s soulful cuisine unite everyone at the table.

Gaumarjos! (Cheers!)
