In a news story devoted to Sochi, the 2014 World Olympics capital, the CNN addresses the local cuisine which it says will offer guests predominantly Armenian and Georgian dishes.


“With Armenians accounting for 20% of the city's population, and close proximity to Georgia, Sochi offers an impressive sampling of cuisine beyond the dill and sour cream of traditional Russian fare,” reads the report.


It provides addresses of national food cuisines where visitors can taste the traditional Armenian lavash (wood fired bread) and clay-pot stews and the favorite Georgian chakhokhbili (chicken in garlic sauce).


The report further refers to the Caucasian Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which partially overlaps with Sochi National Park in the Western Caucasus.
