Modern Georgian

Syrniki, Berries, Salted Caramel

Fried curd cheese pancakes with fresh berries, caramel and toasted sesame.

Syrniki are a breakfast everyone in the region grew up with, which means they are judged harshly. The whole thing turns on draining the curd properly: too wet and you are making pancakes, not syrniki.

Berries and caramel are the modern part, and they earn their place by bringing acid and salt to something otherwise plainly sweet.
