I had an Uzbek mineral water a while ago and it came in the most beautiful little bottle I’ve ever had any drink out of ever. A very nice water inside too.

just come back from a week on holiday in Uzbekistan. Great people and sights, I just wanna add to Natasha's good doc that uzbek salary is aorund 350$-400$ a month and that prices could fit in Italy's grocieries, but we have a 1.500$ payslip. So, that prices are quite high for ordinary uzbeks.

I was in Uzbekistan in 2005, supermarkets are much better now. Back then, there wasn't much available and prices were high. Most locals then bought their vegetables and meat from old soviet style markets... which back then had very cheap, fresh and high quality fresh food.

Speaking of Soviet Koreans. In my neighborhood here in NYC, there is a supermarket run by a family of them. You see them and think they are Koreans, but then hear them speaking in Russian. Anyway, the owner once told me the story about the transfer by Stalin, so I am familiar with this. Also, one of the long time employees at the store is an Uzbek woman. I think I am the only person in the neighborhood that knows this story. As for trips to supermarkets from other countries, I like to see them. I am always interested in what domestic products are availabel, but also in how American corporations have expanded their tentacles seemingly everywhere. Take care.

I used to bring the kids along too and when they got a bit older they knew what we needed and fetched everything to the trolley. At the same time they learned what to watch for when buying vegetables and meat. Plus I never have a list, I have everything in the head and adjust to what the store might have extra, like fresh fish and so on. Both my kids also learned to cook and are really good at it so no readymade and processed food, just real homemade food. Btw, I live in Sweden. 🇸🇪

It's just honest fun, we love you guys anyway. Besides, we have rules about toys in food products too, we just set age limits for them. Kinder eggs are +3 years only I believe. Mostly, we just don't have the "If you don't treat me like a complete moron I'll SUE you" culture here. People over a certain age are expected to KNOW Starbucks coffee cups contain the hot beverages they ordered without being told. It's all good. By the way, we also have the "American style" Kinder eggs here...egg shaped plastic container, toy on one half of the container, some sort of chocolaty paste on the other half that you eat with a spoon provided, they taste gritty like powdered milk...yuck

It's for saving the lives of the people who may catch the hard candy in their throat and choke. The hole allows air to pass through so the so-called "dunce" doesn't choke and suffocate to death. Lifesavers were an apt name for that hard candy.

My one time in Uzbekistan (~1993 as a member of the Canadian Department of Natural Resources) was wonderful. I liked the Uzbeks and the fact that they were still so close to their tribal roots even if they wore suits. And no, there was nothing like this 30 years ago. I wish the Uzbeks well!

Interesting insight into the available foods in Uzbekistan. A really good selection !! Very close to the products available in Poland. Ha ha !..that cow mooing machine is cool 🐮 The management sound very customer service orientated !!

I liked the mooing milk machine. I have never seen one in an American market, because milk is always sold packaged, not bulk. Do Uzbekis eat greens? In the US, we have specialized refrigerated shelves for greens (spinach, broccoli, radishes...) that spray them with water every 20 minutes or so, keeping them fresh. Some of this equipment plays a recording of a thunderstorm while the spraying is going on - which is nice, and makes it seems like the greens are fresh out of the garden. Some US markets have signs at the door prohibiting people from taking videos, glad you were able to let us in !!

I always enjoy your grocery shopping videos! It’s very interesting - the prices and local or imported products. I’m surprised to know that the Japanese word “iwashi” was adopted there!

I was in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, a few weeks ago, and I visited one of Korzinka branches multiple times, and I would say that I really liked it. You missed something, though, which is the fresh bread they bake. Also, in my humble opinion, I don't think that we should always assume something negative whenever someone comes to talk to us. I believe that the store manager truly wanted to offer some help. Even if he wasn't going to help, he still had the right to ask if everything is OK as it's so rare over there to see a vlogger making a video inside a grocery store.

Some items were more expensive than in the Upper Midwestern USA while other products, especially the local ones, were really inexpensive. 5.5 pounds of potatoes or 2.5 kg would make you feel like you were stealing them in one of our local markets. Kinder chocolate eggs are sold here but they are toyless. The sausages would be considered extremely expensive here. It appeared that the market in the video had more freeze dried food and many uniquely packaged prepared foods that we would buy the items separately and then put together at home such as the dumplings and meat. Usually, you would need to make your own dumplings in this part of the USA. Canned pickled items are uncommon here but my wife makes and cans our own from our garden that we grow because she found out that I grew up on homemade canned and pickled vegetables. ( including pickled tomatoes, try them they are really good) I bought her a freeze dryer because she doesn't like to stand as long as canning requires. ( I used to come home to help my mother can as she got older and it required long hours on your feet) Lately, we occasionally make our meat and dumplings or similar and then freeze dry the mixture which preserves it for about 20 years in a heavy plastic bag. ( you can store it at room temperature on a closet shelf) You have to add water to re-hydrate freeze dried products and then heat it on a stove or in a microwave. Now that I think of it such products could make a great group of grocery store products. It might even be better than the mooing cow dispenser.

Thanks for doing another supermarket tour. I've enjoyed the past ones you made. I've also been watching the latest Niki Proshin and Eli videos from Vietnam.
