Apologies for being so slow with posting, it's a busy month.

 

So still on the road Westwards towards Tbilisi, we stopped at a local farmers market. Many sellers had very small stocks, to my understanding they were selling their gardens crop. A few sellers were selling at larger scales.

Pickling herbs - bay, dill/fennel blossoms and seed heads.

Corn, flour, beans (seemingly only cranberry and similar cultivars, I haven't seen any other type sold or used), sunflower seeds are popular as snack.

Aromatic herbs, bery fresh and can be smelled all around (dill, cilantro, parsley, purple basil, tiny scallions). Also lettuce and radishes.

Delicious sweet peppers and green hot chilies.

We were passing by Surami, where I've read one can find Nazuki, a traditional sweet bread flavored with spices and baked in a wood fired tonis oven, rarely found anywhere else [image]. I was excited to have the chance to sample such a regional specialty. The sellers at the market pointed us to the nearby bakery, where the two old ladies there shook their heads and explained in a mixture of English and Russian that we should head on towards the town. So we did. We spent a while there, enjoying the small town and the nearby village. But the bread was nowhere to be found :(
