NOTES : In southern Russia, a favorite method of preparing poultry is to
: serve either spitted or broiled chicken with a sauce made with
: green gooseberries, pounded walnuts, sourcream or fruits. One of
: the most typical sauces is tkemali, which is made with a base of
: wild or sour plums that grow only in the Georgian republic. It
: is not possible to duplicate the recipe outside of the region,
: but a good substitute can be attempted. This is an excellent
: entree for an outdoor meal.
