FAST (!!!!) FOOD is in Abkhazia
I know, starting with my mom, some of you say "oh no" to the global invasion of fast food. And now it is in small Abkhazia- and it is gonna be everywhere. People will forget the traditional eating culture and spend money on junk food that is served fast! Fast?? in Abkhazia? Not possible! I waited for an hour the first time, 45 minutes second time and 30 minutes the third time i visited this new restaurants located on the sea shore. As you can see in the picture it is designed with English Style tiles, big New York pictures on the walls and -what remind me of the old italian pizza house in istanbul from my childhood years- tables surrounded with red couches. By the way i forgot to mention two of the times i waited i did not eat anything since the burgers and the baked potatoes had run out. Only the first time I tried a sandwich which was similar to what we usually eat in tea breaks at the office so not much of a change. But we finished with a choclate sauced creppe which was a full course as it is and too sweet. Cant say anything about the burgers or the potatoes. Will let you know as soon as I know. But for now, I can say that even the fastest food is slow in Abkhazia (And people sit for hours to eat the food served which is really little according to world standards) and we long for nice and clean restaurants.
