Underwhelming Piti — expected more

I was looking forward to Piti here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The richly layered character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with dried sour plums or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Azerbaijani cuisine reflects Turkic, Persian, and Caucasian influences meeting at a historical crossroads. The a wedding feast setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. doshab grape molasses was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
