Yes. In Istanbul. There is a gorgeous Egyptian bazaar and it’s very famous. I bought some oriental fabric and made table cloth and a few mats. I bought saffron there too-it’s very inexpensive there.
That market looks great we have markets like this in Mexico but not as big or well organized and clean
No, never seen a huge bizarre like that. I’ve been to smaller outdoor farmer’s markets. You think farmers market would be local farmers, but most of it is brought up from Mexico 🇲🇽
Good video, but for half the video the speck on the nose caught my eye_)
When I lived in Russia ( not Moscow)) I shopped for my meats at the market like this. I mean farmer's market. There are quite many places to shop but the farmer's market is 2 minutes walk from my place, also, the meats are the best there. Again, there are many other places in Krasnodar to shop for good meats but I used the market where everything is delivered fresh every day.
It works 7 days a week unlike the markets here in the US.
Hi Russell. I've lived in Brisbane for 30 years. Born and raised in Tashkent in 1958, he lived next to Chor Su. Uzbekistan is the most hospitable country in the world. Try pilaf, samsa, lagman. Good luck to you
It was so intersting, I went there to watch the Australian Womens football team play Ukbekistan. There was 30-40 Australians at the ground watching. Most were locals who are teachers there.
Чеж ты, браток сбежал
The Lord saved you from "hospitality" when Uzbekistan separated from the union...
Try their tomatoes too, they are the best
Tashkent, love it, my place of birth… Manti, Samsa, Pilov, Lagman, Churpa, all Uzbek food is delicious..
Привет. Я родился в Ташкенте , прожил 47 лет сейчас уже 10 лет живу в Москве. Приезжал на Чор-су за свежим мясом и заодно пакупал1кг курта(такие белые шарики из творога. С пивом хорошо.).Рахмат,Спасибо, вот я и на родине побывал. Счастья тебе Рассел!
У нас, в Екатеринбурге, его везде продают. Узбеки держат свои овощные киоски. В них продают овощи, фрукты, орехи, специи и национальные закуски. Есть отдельные киоски с халяльным мясом. Да вы, наверное, и сами знаете.
It would be nice to visit one of those.
if i lived close by, i would weigh 50 lbs heavier. very nice look at a rare market in the World; (western world) no wonder they are healthy. thanks Russell🎉
Mind-blowing from farm to fork. The English Market in County Cork is teeny tiny in comparison! ❤❤wonderful atmosphere. Very serious about their fruit and vegetables 😊
I agree, very serious, it's all about the freshest products. rather than shopping in normal supermarkets.
I dig these kind of videos & will gladly stare at the TV for 30 minutes to watch
Thank you )))))
@@TravellingwithRussell no problem Russell and your commentary was great. Only thing I can suggest is stopping to show some weird stuff at the stalls.
Bazaar or market - it was still fascinating to see what they had for sale! It reminded me of how we used to shop in Peru - buy by the kilo and carry it in your own bags. 😀
I love these types of markets. My wife shops at them all the time here in Moscow close to where we live. Not nearly as big as this one mine you. Chorsu was amazing to see in person.
YEEESSSSS MEAT ..... I'm a happy boy now. I can die in peace. This is truly a FANTASTIC place 😍😍😍😍
It was amazing. On another level. Literally any kind of meat you like was available there. Well, except for Kangaroo, I did have a laugh with a couple of the vendors there when I asked them.
Amen
Uzbek nan
The best 😊
Keep it up Russell with your great videos I am from Greenwood Ind USA and all your videos make me want to move to Russia I love Russia and the people. Thank you
This was very interesting. Thanks for your effort. Peace, my friend.
Thank Jeffrey. I appreciate that greatly.
So much fun to watch other people shop and enjoy the day
I enjoyed it just as much exploring this place.
The spice, tea, bead, jewelry, and fabric parts of the market are easily three thousand years old. Your on the old silk road.
Lovely video! Really nice! Thank you very much Russell! Amazing variety! Fantastic place! 😍👏👍
My husband and I LOVED this video! We really like learning about these places. My husband got upset about the horse meat, I laughed. Everything in the USA is sold in tight little plastic containers and it's all full of chemicals. (I am a chemist) That food was Natural!
Really envious that you were in Uzbekistan mate, it's high on my bucket list. Great video as usual 👌
I was only there for a couple of days. I went to watch the Australian Womens Football team play an Olympic qualifying game there. I have a video on it coming soon on the channel.
Hi Russel! I just returned from uzbekistan and yeah, i visited this market to purchase chocolates, tea, souvenirs, etc... it was short journey but i already missed uzbek already❤❤
Me too, I was there for only 3 days. I did check out a lot of local landmarks in the city though. I went for a game of football actually. th-cam.com/video/Sfx2P59wUYU/w-d-xo.html
Wow!
Very interesting video. I’ve been to fruit markets but never that big. Looks like a lot of neat items. Would be fun for sure.
an interesting video as always Russell )) The market looks great with fresh produce. We have smaller scale fruit and vegetable markets here in UAE and fishmarkets for fresh goods but nothing as big as this :)
This place really was next level in size.
I loved this video. Farm to table option.
Amazing variety
It really had everything.
Thanks for the video Russell, as always very interesting! I enjoy watching long videos,Большое спасибо :)
Glad you like them! Thanks. I like this video length as well. 20 - 30 minutes.
Я бы хотела поехать в Самарканд, но мне не с кем
Outstanding tour in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I was also at a more traditional shopping center supermarket also. th-cam.com/video/7xwZWAezzaE/w-d-xo.html
Wow … that is wow
Become the member , everyone. Support gentlemen traveler, Russell. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the support ))
Great video, thx
To visit a local bazar is like a separate adventure 😊
It really is. I could have made this video about 2 hours, if i walked a little slower.
I think Australia was discovered over fifty thousand years ago.
Russell, big please , спасибо))
Your very welcome. I am really happy you like and enjoy the videos.
Very enjoyable video!😀
Thank you! 😃
Thanks for this interesting video, Russel! I will be in Tashkent next month and I`ll definitely visit this market!
If you get a chance, do it. Even, if it's just a walk through like I did.
I have seen this market before with Konstantin. I have never seen such a huge place. The food looks amazing and the spice counters and dried fruits look delicious. Did they sell hot food? I saw the sign for somsa. A lovely video thank you Russell
No hot food in the market. Or things to eat there on the spot, they did have a lot of small cafes close by though.
@@TravellingwithRussellооо поверьте, там есть горячая еда, шашлык, лагман, плов, сомса , ханум и многое другое, вы прошли только половину этого базара, внизу вещевой рынок и много кафешек
Loving it👍👍👍👍👍
These bazaars are part of the national culture. I remember back in the Soviet Union in Samarkand, Tashkent, Bukhara and other large cities there were exactly such bazaars.
These cities arose on ancient trade roads along which caravans carrying goods passed. From China and India to Europe and back.
Of course, no supermarket can compare with such a selection.
You only walked through the food market. There were also clothes, carpets, dishes, ceramics and other goods.
spectacular! good job mate
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks !!
That is awesome, thank you for the tour. Those vegetables look amazing
We have a huge market here in Pennsylvania. Its called the Green Dragon. But its not as big as the one youre at.
5:21 In the USSR they used to say: "Tashkent is a bread city..."
That makes total sense.
In the 90ths “The 8th km” bazaar in Baku was in comparable size. Don't know how today.
Interesting. Perhaps each of the neighboring cities have one like this. I know there is one in Kyrgyzstan as well in Bishkek.
Many thanks Russell, you changed the camera and no more freezes on the video🎉
The beef prices in America is to expensive for many to afford. How much a pound is like a porterhouse steak ? In the states is around $15.00+ a pound. Hamburger is crazy high.
Here in Moscow, I almost never buy beef, except for mince to make pasta. Otherwise I mainly buy port and chicken.
Writing from Moscow. It depends on where you buy. And it also depends on the brand. You can buy beef from such bazars and it may be cheaper (around 6-10 dollars per kilo). You can also buy branded meat (8-10+ dollars per kilo). There are also separate steaks sold in different supermarkets. The good ones can vary from 4 dollars to 10 dollars per steak (depends on the quality and weight)
Overall, you can buy a kilo of decent beef for 8 dollars and a good steak for 6 dollars just in a shop next to your house
Yak in kyrgyzstan 500 soms per kilo
Or 5.50 us dollars
True, beef is expensive here in America. I just got file mignon on sale for $11 a pound. That is unheard of anymore so I loaded up.
В Москве 1кг вырезки хорошей около 10 долларов
Hi Russell, another great video. I suppose Morley markets in Perth and vic markets in Melbourne have the same variety, just not the same amount of vendors. Ps hope we can catch up in Perth or organise a visit to your neck of the woods
В Ташкенте много подобных базаров. Тот же Алайский, например.
Спасибо, я действительно хочу вернуться на более длительный срок, чтобы найти другие места для посещения.
Those different types of chai😍 and other foods❤️
😋There is so much choice at these types of events.
@@TravellingwithRussell yea.. it's a heaven for food lovers 🙂
We have small farmers markets here where I am in the summer in the US. I’m envious of all the choices that you have over there. 👍👍
О, спасибо, Рассел. Не была в Узбекистане, интересно посмотреть😊❤
Oriental bazaar is like a department store! The Muslim civilization invented bazaars-department stores! Not Europe. Not France.
This place was just like that. Across the road they had more buildings with furniture and homeware items.
Not Muslim civilization. It is too young for such invention.
really nice Uzbek market! I want those lamb chops so badly:(
Amazing, never seen anything in my life thank you so much for doing this trip
Interesting video, thanks!
Welcome!
Looks amazing! 🤩
It was!
Chorsu Bazaar (Uzbek Chorsu bozori) is one of the largest bazaars in Uzbekistan and Central Asia, located in the old part of Tashkent called "Eski Shahar", on Navoi Street in the Almazar district. Chorsu Bazaar was known in the Middle Ages and was of great importance on the road of the Great Silk Road
In the central part of the ceiling of the bazaar, covered with ornaments, there is a monumental domed structure with a diameter of about 75 meters - a winter three-tiered bazaar building with an elevator system. On the lower level there are basement corridors with numerous utility rooms. There are counters with goods on the middle and upper floors. The shopping malls in the bazaar are divided by the types of goods sold on them: vegetables, fruits, nuts, oriental sweets, spices, cereals. Separate pavilions have been allocated for clothing and household supplies
Thanks for the extra information. ))
Omg what a great market. Just love it. Would shop there every day. Well done Russel
Hi Russell, i like your videos, but could you edit it for accuracy to say Australia was colonised rather than discovered 200+ years ago. I think your viewers would appreciate the correction.
It's impossible to change a part in the middle of the video. I can understand your frustration though. I think even this market is way older than 500 years.
19.00 is Kazi. Traditional central Asian sausage made of horse meat. Needs boiling. Not cured. Good for soups, and as is. Delicious.
Just before 19.00. Darker colour meat is a fresh horse meat
Thanks for making the time stamps of the different types.
You can buy eggs one by one ?
Wow !
❤
You can, most rynoks or food markets like this they will.
I'm not gonna lie, I watched the fruit and veg for a while but the carnivore in me took over and I ended up fast-forwarding to the meat 🍴🍖🍗🥩🐷
No worries at all. Maybe I need to make more videos like this.
@@TravellingwithRussell It looks like a fantastic market, most of the markets I used to go to here in the UK are gone now, I don't know if that's the same across the country but they're a dying breed where I am.
♥
Thank you Russell, another very interesting video!! Yes, it's a shame you can't make videos of the markets in Russia.
I am trying to get access to them in Russia, but it's not as easy, I did get to visit Sadavod, which is another impossible market to film in without permission. th-cam.com/video/6i_dRF08tMY/w-d-xo.html
Все рынки в крупных городах практически не имеют продуктов от фермеров, они дороже. Все что вы видите от оптовиков.
Прелестно прелестно
okay..... beautiful Bazaar...... 500 thanks and good luck..... good video good news ok beautiful..... 🇧🇩🇧🇩♥️♥️♥️♥️💘💘💘💘❤️❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💜💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Are the folks manning the stands the farmer or do these folks buy from farms and sell in the market?
There all resellers of the items. They would buy from either the farmers or wholesalers.
I was wondering the same thing. There must be tons of rot and waste
In large cities, it is difficult for farmers to break into retail outlets, logistics eats up all profits. Basically, these are only sellers from wholesalers, all goods look the same as in stores and markets.
Это фермеры
@@user-ij4hg2hy1hэто торгаши,фермеры на ферме
i've been in this market and i bought the epic bread they have in usbekistan and at 6:50 where you quess what it is, it's not fruit it is cheese
Thanks, I was struggling to understand what certain items were.
Its weird seeing people on their phones and actually talking on them and even without ear buds. So old school.
I noticed that in Tashkent. In Moscow you see more people with headphones in, but they don't go answering their phones with them in, mostly there for listening to music, usually on the train or buses.
Right. I was mostly referring to the fact we text instead of voice calls. Just reminded me of the old days before txt and we used our cell phones for voice calls.
You should consider going to Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in the near future. Those two places are pretty underrepresented when it comes to vloggers. Just stick to the major hubs and stay away from the border regions.
I don’t understand, is there really no place in this infinitely huge bazaar where you can satisfy your excited appetite?
I went to a Plov Restaurant right after making this video. I was saving myself.
@@TravellingwithRussell But it's not at the market? Isn't there a food court at the market itself?
Есть и называется обжорные ряды😂 и там ты точно голодный не уйдеш
The caramel looking liquid in the giant stock pots is called samanoo. Since it's getting close to spring you will see this as part of their new year celebration. New Year in central asia and Iran is celebrated in Spring. Samanoo is a sweet made from boiling wheat grass over several hours. It's a traditional food New Year food in Central Asia, Iran, and other Baltic nations.
The white dusty balls are dried salted yogurt. It's extremely hard and a way to preserve yogurt without refrigeration for many months. It's kind of like sucking on a salty cheesy rock. It'll break your teeth if you're not careful.
I have heard that the Russians like to eat bread in one hand and a garlic in the other hand for to add flavor. Clever idea so bread wont ever be boring.
Nothing that big in Queensland Russell. Looks good though.
Nothing even close to this in Moscow either. Not then outdoor type of market anyway.
Consider that sellers in Moscow bazaars are the very same people as in this video (it is almost impossible to find any slavic looking sellers, esp. in fruit-veg. selling ones) and their not wanting to be filmed probably comes from the fact that in Tashkent they are at home but illegal immigrants in Moscow mostly. 😅
I love your videos!!!!
I thought I saw you at the market... And my gray bag accidentally got in the shot haha :D
Sadly we dont have such big markets in my town. Some small vendours in the city but its mostly during summertime
In Perth, my hometown in Australia it's the same way. Nothing even close to this.
I would have no problem eating any of that meat. I do not see any glaring hygiene issues (except the huge racks of meat hanging outside of refrigerator). But there’s no swarms of flies buzzing around the stuff
It was a very clean place. The turnover alone means things are left out for too long.
Winter.White flies only.
So does anyone know what the small round white balls were ? It was around 7 minutes in to the vid
It’s a dairy product, called Kurt or Kurut. Fermented thick sheep, camel or cow milk with added salt rolled into balls and air dried. Rock hard balls.
Very tasty and beneficial. Healthy natural Central Asian food. Thousand years old recipe. Easy for transporting, no need for fridge and easy to keep.
Love them. And miss them here in AU
Hello brother !
там наверняка продают плов 😊
Внутри главного рынка я ничего не увидел, хотя позже я зашел в довольно интересное место, чтобы поесть. t.me/travellingwithrussell/2275
Reminds me of Paddy's or Flemington Markets in Sydney.
You got something on your nose :) Looks like smth from a cookie. Great video tho, was interesting to watch.
I only noticed it when i was editing the video. Maybe that's why so many people were staring at me in this video ))
that's way more than 100 stands
I sort of lost count.
Thx for the video, tell us something about the food or spices. Spice up your talk, pls.😉
Minute 6.37 something on your nose 🫣
I was just watching the video back and noticed my nose as well. It was cold that day, and my nose was running a fair bit.
Рассел,ты просто переместился в отдалённую часть Москвы :) (я имею ввиду Узбекистан) :)
I would like to see you go shopping with your wife.
I've done it once or twice on camera. She doesn't really like to be on camera. th-cam.com/video/_kG9yfCwG_s/w-d-xo.html
Why you didnt go to hot food court in Chorsu bazaar? Called objorka in russian.
I didn't notice it. It was a big place, and i didn't want to the video to get too long. I did go to the International plov centre though.
❤😂🎉
hi Russell, did you manage to buy any groceries in this market or just filmed?
Only filmed, i travel to Tashkent only with a back pack, as I visited for 2 days only. So, it was going to be a bit hard to bring things home. I did buy my wife some nuts though. But I didn't show them.
@@TravellingwithRussellthe food looks really tasty - not sure though if it is healthy enough, but my stomach was grumbling too!
Russia doesn't have an egg shortage but an egg pricing problem.... 10 eggs are $1 now.. not the end of the world... correction $1.25
There must be Tons of food waste ? How do they possibly sell all that food. It's all perishables. Where do the people selling it get it ?? Very little of it can be grown there, and it's winter.
They grow a lot in green houses in the off seasons. Along with other food coming from other nearby CIS countries.
Here in the states there is so much food waste and we don't have near the quantity trying to be sold in that market. Wonder why they have so much !?
@@marksears1124Well, as a local I can say how we consume food. We usually order delivery from markets, that'swhy you don't see many people in markets. There are several sites which deliver food. Also, big restaurants and cafés also order in lots from markets Since Tashkent is highly populated, food is also highly consumed. Local population of Tashkent is more than 2.5 million people , besides foreigners, expats and tourists. Besides this particular market, there are several more markets in Tashkent with a big supermarket in each district and with small vendors at some crossroads. I can assure that food is not wasted. As an animal career, I am personally interested in food waste for animal shelters.
We turn to restaurants and cafes for food waste and often get rejected because they already have an agreement with chicken and cow farms. Some small cafes usually deliver animal shelters.
@@marksears1124why don't you reuse waste food? Many years ago I worked in a bakery in England. After closing the shop they threw bread in the trash so I asked the manager to do something with leftover bread instead , so the baker suggested making bread pudding and it was great. I am glad I made a change in that bakery
Hi 👋 Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Have never been to the market like this, never trued half of this food (I am Russian).
Who knows what's in these buckets with datk stuff like chocolate sauce but it's not chocolate?
I spent about 10 minutes trying to understand what it was, I still didn't after walking away.
Может сумаляк? Я видео не смотрела, но в Узбекистане сейчас как раз его пора. Пророщенную пшеницу варят сутки и получается что-то вроде нашего повидла как раз коричневого цвета. Это считается десертом.
Да абсолютно правы это сумаляк
The comment is for someone named
Algorithm
A nice horse steak with garlic and French mustard YUMMM ! I hope you did try it. I know for a lot of people the idea of eating horse meat is disgusting but trust me it's a lean meat and taste so good... Maybe it's the French in me. I was raised on the stuff ... lol..... there is no way I will ever have some as it's not available in Australia...
13500 to 1 us dollar
Yikes
В Нукус не поедешь?
Я был там всего 2,5 дня. Так что у меня не было времени выезжать дальше за пределы Ташкента.
@@TravellingwithRussell
Жаль.
Благодарю за ответ!
Russel, you should concentrate on something. As far as I understand it should be Russia and Perth. YOu have not produced anything about Perth yet and nearly promised it.
I live in Moscow, If you want to see something from Perth, this might be interesting. th-cam.com/video/ejcxFLsNpwg/w-d-xo.html
australia was NOT discovered by james cook!!!!
Well, the Dutch did arrive a little earlier, but only left a flag.
I was wondering when this comment would pop up. When you land at a country with no sign of civilization, you’ve discovered it. This market has been going for five hundred years, think what Australians have done in 200 odd years.
