I was intrigued by the candle-like churchkhela I saw almost everywhere in Yerevan and here in Tbilisi. A string of churchkhela is made up of nuts, mostly walnuts, which is dipped in flour, sugar, and concentrated grape juice, then dried for days before it is ready to eat. My first taste of it was at the GUM market in Yerevan. The way to eat it is to pull the string and then eat the churchkhela. It tastes great, something like belekoy minus the sesame seeds.
