"Weave your way past folks doing their weekly shop, and head straight to the hot bar and prepared food sections of this Uzbek grocery store. Tashkent is a great place to stock up on spiced beef manti, pickled cabbage, smoked fish, and borscht. But don’t stop loading your basket when you reach the section of golden-brown fried foods: cigar-like sigara, lamb samsa, Georgian-style khachapuri. Take them home and reheat them until the khachapuri oozes with cheese. And always give in to that one more item you think you won’t need. Sushi salad, anyone?" - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
