Tashkent has old style markets all over the city, places to buy produce, meat, eggs, spices straight from local vendors at their stalls. Sometimes the iconic Silk Road is much in the present.
If you're a tourist with only a day or so to hop around Tashkent, the market bazaar to see is Chorsu. It is the biggest, baddest, most striking shopping mecca in the city. Big on the outside.
Bigger on the inside. The blue dome building is the center of the market, certainly not all of the market. You want lemons? Two blocks down, on the right.
Everything you could need for a funky dinner, served up on a tray. Onions are in, get your 25kg bag of onions.
They eat horses, don't they? They most certainly do. What cut of an equine for which you are hankering, pardner?
Everything comes in multiples. A party mix, supercharged. Non being made non-stop. Henry Ford would have been impressed.
Bread runneth over.
You can get your birthday cake weighed down with candy and toys. Great graphics, in case you forget what you are buying.
Back to the big room, bones to clean up.
