Georgian steampunk recipes — classic dishes reimagined with storytelling and flavor.
Intro/Story
In the roaring belly of a steam‑powered forge, gears grind and pistons hiss as spiced meat is stuffed into casings. Kupati, the Georgian sausage, becomes a mechanical marvel — smoky links forged in fire and steel, nourishing travelers with rustic comfort.
Kupati are traditional Georgian sausages made from pork or beef, seasoned with garlic, onions, and spices. They are often grilled or fried and served with bread, vegetables, or sauces like tkemali. Kupati reflect Georgia’s love for hearty, communal meals and are a staple at feasts and gatherings.
