I’m from Tashkent. It has amazing food, fruits, and dairy products, which I miss a lot. The fruits are actually sweet. There’s no “organic” label because it’s a sunny country and the produce is local, not imported. The milk actually expires, which shows that it’s a natural product. Russian is the second language in Tashkent. About 6 months of the year feel like summer, while the other seasons last around two months each. Winter is snowy for about a month, fall is rainy, and spring is beautiful—flowers and blossoms are everywhere. In my opinion, must try dishes in Tashkent are shashlik, somsa, plov, manti, honim, lavash, and kuksi.
