| | Courier Report FER-1569 DISPATCHED: 08/08/10 DELIVERED: 24/08/10 Rose White I bought the churchkela sweets on my last day in Georgia. Me and my room-mate Lizzie went off by ourselves to the market.There are very few tourists there. The market is hectic and rickety, with makeshift stalls and cars razzing down the streets, swerving to avoid people and other cars and using their horns continuously.There are heaps of fresh produce everywhere. We wandered quite far into the market looking for the sweets, which we'd tried a few days earlier. We found a street of stalls covered with bunches of churchkhela and sour sweets in flat, round sheets, made from crushed berry paste. The churchkhela are made by stringing nuts like a necklace and dipping them into reduced grape juice until they've got a sweet, rubbery coating. It's similar to the process of making candles. I arrived back late on 08/08/10 and sent a message to Kate Feraltrade the next day thanking her for watering my plants whilst I was away. She replied that she was stuck in hospital, so I took some Georgian wine and sweets in when I went to visit her. |
kate rich 8/8/10 hospitalised in Bristol Royal Infirmary due to drastic sports injury. feral trade's neighbour rose visited with consolation bottle of georgian wine and churchkhela sweets fresh in from the georgian capital tbilisi. another visitor jelena stanovnik carried the churchkhela back to my flat at ducrow court st pauls, where rose white also lives, a convenient 10 mins walk from BRI. due to my immobilisaton for 6 weeks post- foot surgery, castlefield gallery director kwong lee drove down from manchester to convey remaining goods (georgian sweets, serbian sweets, hot chocolate and cube-cola) back to castlefield for the opening of feral trade cafe there the following week.
Kwong Lee Met courier Rose at Ducrow Court with Kate - she talked of how they make this trad sweet from Georgia - a long stick of nuts dipped repeatedly in sugary syrupy. Started driving from Kate's house in Bristol on Sun 22 August 2010, at about 9:30pm. Torrential downpour until Gloucester on M5. Then stopped off at Stafford service station on M6 (had a pot of standard 'English' tea) and arrived home at Redbricks, Manchester on Monday 23 August 2010, at 1am. Sweets straight in fridge. On Tuesday 24 August brought the stick of Georgian sweet to Castlefield Gallery.
