Ossetian Cuisine

 

Fidgin (Ossetian: фыдджын, Russian: фиджин) is a type of meat pie.

Three pies (Ossetian: æртæ чъирийы, Russian: три пирога) is an important concept in Ossetian culture, representing sun, earth and water.

 

Beer has been prepared and enjoyed in Ossetia since ancient times. Ossetian beer is dark-brown to black in color, has little-to-no foam and a significantly lower alcohol content than most ordinary types of beer. Iron Bagani is a famous beer festival celebrating this cultural treasure in a manner comparable to that of the German Oktoberfest.

 

Ossetian cheese is a traditional cheese of Ossetians. It is mostly served as hard cheese.

A dish which is unique to South Ossetia – similar to a Scotch egg or Nargesi kebab, is made by wrapping one half of a Boiled egg in a serving Ground beef and frying it in Tomato sauce.
