Mutton in Georgia is not as popular as many tourists think. In our uninformed imagination, Georgia is somehow considered a country of mutton. This is a stereotype of Georgia. A foreigner hearing the word “Georgia” immediately imagines such a picture — against the background of snow-capped pointed peaks there is a shepherd in a cap and a burka, and a huge flock of sheep is grazing on the green slope of the mountain. Maybe the reason for the stereotype was the Soviet films like “Mimino” and “The Caucasian Captive”. However, the main sheep breeding in Georgia among Georgians is common only in the highlands of Eastern Georgia. This is mainly the region of Khevi ( Stepantsminda, Kazbegi district under the USSR) and Tusheti (this is the Akhmetsky district of Kakheti).
