Linguistic cuisine help!
Is anyone familiar with Georgian cuisine (or the language, heck, that would do)?
I'm wondering if there's a distinction made between pkhali made with spinach and other types of pkhali. Additionally, is there a distinction made with lobio made with red beans or kidney beans in a walnut sauce and lobio made with green beans with tomatoes? If there are distinctions, the proper name of the dishes would be greatly appreciated. I can handle Cyrillic, Latin, and Mkhedruli alphabets, though I'd appreciate a pronunciation written out in IPA, English/Latin, or Russian/Cyrillic (okay, you Ukrainians are welcome to reply, as well) if you reply with the actual Georgian term in the Mkhedruli alphabet. I could sound it out, but it would take me a good fifteen minutes. ;)
I'm a language nerd and like to know exactly what I'm serving. ;)
Anyone who replies is welcome to insist that I make these dishes if you ever visit Charlottesville.

Of course, the first thing I think of is sweet tea in Mason jars, fried okra, smoked country ham, green beans, stewed tomatoes . . . and then I realize you said "Georgian" not "Georgia" and that it's not "cuisine", it's "cookin'".
