History of the Gebzhalia
Gebzhalia is a Megrelian dish that means “put in milk”. It’s also worth noting that the words “milk” and “sun” are pronounced similarly in Megrelian. We might assume that this dish served as a sacral symbol and was frequently served during ritualistic feasts. Gebzhalia is traditionally round and represents the sun, although it also comes in numerous shapes.
