From rotten pears to Dublin Bay prawns
Article Abstract:
Food shopping in Russia takes a lot of time as availability is unpredictable. It is common to use private supppliers and to hoard food. Prices are high and salaries low. Foreign currency can purchase delicacies rare in Russia. The Central Market in Moscow is poorly fitted with ancient weights and measures and less than fresh food. Preserved food, nuts, seeds and spices are alright. Most Russians have a dacha, like an allotment, where they grow food. They preserve it in the autumn and swap foods in the winter. Town-dwellers raise goats and small pigs to sell at the Central Market.
