Jalalabat Bazaar

Bread! This unleavened bread is the best, and it is a staple of all Kyrgyz meals. It's amazing just out of the oven.



Thanks to the warmer weather and longer growing season, the fruits and veggies in Jalalabat are the most delicious and plentiful in country.



Meat, meat, and more meat. I didn't ask but judging by the carcass at the bottom of the picture I'm guessing this is mutton...yum!



The samsa oven stand we pass everyday from our apartment. For just 17 som, we can get a kinda of pot-pie to go. It has a flaky outer layer with meat, onions, and potatoes inside. (The metal disc is covering the opening from which I took the picture below).



Looking down inside the samsa oven. Look at all of those delicious samsas stuck to the side of the wall!
