Significado
Describing a high-quality midday meal.
Contexto cultural
Lunch is often the main meal of the day in Georgia, especially in rural areas. It is common to have a long break between 2 PM and 4 PM to enjoy a 'gemrieli sadili'. In the capital, 'business lunches' are becoming popular, but they still maintain the Georgian flair for multiple shared dishes rather than individual plates. If you tell a Georgian cook their lunch is 'gemrieli', they will likely try to give you a second or third helping. It is a sign of great success for the host. During Orthodox fasting periods, a 'gemrieli sadili' will be vegan (samarkhvo), but still highly seasoned and flavorful.
Compliment the Cook
Always say 'გემრიელი სადილია' to the person who cooked. It is the highest form of praise in a Georgian home.
Watch the Clock
If it's after 6 PM, switch to 'გემრიელი ვახშამი'.
