Trying DUMPLINGS (Samsa) & BBQ Skewers in Bukhara Uzbekistan

Traveled to Bukhara Uzbekistan to explore another ancient city and trying out some traditional dumplings and rice dishes. This city was amazingly beautiful, with some of the best soup dumplings (samsa) I've tried in Central Asia.

I am 25% Persian and this reminds me of the Iranian culture - too many similarities. Very beautiful and a hospitable country and the people appear kind, humble and hardworking. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. It brought tears to my eyes as parts of it were pretty nostalgic and homey to me. My grandparents lived and died in Iran and this video brought me memories from my last visit before they die. I am very glad we live differently, build cities differently and have different culture. It’s beautiful and just heartwarming. Saffron tea is an addiction. In my home, we mix tea leaves with dried Saffron during Fall/Winter. Mom always joke about it being the Pumpkin latte of tea 😂

Because Bukhara is mostly inhabited by Persian Tajiks. Samarkand and Bukhara are two Uzbek cities that are inhabited by ethnic Tajiks. Additionally, these countries were once a part of the Persian empire. Many foods, music, architect, other cultural elements and words in the language of Uzbekistan are Iranian influenced. Furthermore, Uzbeks have been intermixed with Iranic people so many of them are a mix of turkic and Iranic in appearance. Very good observation and comment my friend.

Pork is available in Uzbekistan, but it's mostly consumed by ethnic Russians in the form of sausage or bacon. Uzbeks don't touch the stuff, thus you won't find it in restaurants, only sometimes in hotel breakfast buffets.

Sugar crystals in chrysanthemum flower tea on a hot summer day in China! Oh the memories I got when seeing those sugar crystals! I loved drinking chrysanthemum tea in China when I went there in summertime and we had days of high 80’s or 90’s F or mid 30’s C and very high humidity. Surprising though how hot tea could have such a pleasant cooling effect in such warm weather... And my in-laws just couldn’t believe it when I opted for the tea as well and basically acted like a local would lol I also handled the heat a lot better than my Chinese family hehe And I’m born and raised in Sweden where summers rarely even reach 80’s, so by all means I should have struggled in Jiangsu province in May, June and July 🙄

Loving this series. I’ll never get to Uzbekistan, but your travels help me see what it’s like. Beautiful, ancient, and I can almost taste the food (I love cumin and saffron). Interesting that before Europeans came to the Americas, the rest of the world had no tomatoes or potatoes, which are both “New World” foods. Amazing how these foods spread around the world through trade, and how they’ve been integrated into so many different cuisines.
