Kazakh Food Heaven Like You’ve NEVER Seen Before! 🇰🇿 Oldest & Biggest Market of Kazakhstan

[@BT-ex8be]

I read an interesting fact about white round cheese on the Internet, Kurt, during the war in Kazakhstan there was a prison for the wives of soldiers who betrayed the country and the Kazakhs threw this white pebble to the female prisoners who were starving, but this gesture was taken as mocking because they thought it was a stone until they tried this stone, so they saved themselves from hunger, and the guards thought that the locals were mocking the prisoners and were happy thinking that the locals did not like the prisoners. something like that

[@yerkin_aliakbar]

there is an article on web called "Kurt - a stone that saved lives" by Gertrude Platays

[@АйгульЕлеуова-ы6з]

Миллионы люлей 135 наций спасли Казахи.Голодая сами от голода.Приняли в свои дома,щелились последним куском хлеба. Был голодомор казахов.❤👏🇰🇿

[@Atymtayeva]

But in fact nobody betrayed the country, it was just a name of the camp

[@ShynarEsmagambetova]

АЛЖИР ,лагерь жен изменников Родины . Мемориальный комплекс и музей находится в нескольких километрах от Астаны. В этот лагерь попадали жены политических деятелей писателей и других , со всего бывшего советского союза, кто попадал под репрессии.

[@umsynaybeken]

На самом деле в лагерь отправляли неугодных казахской интеллигенции, патриотов. Забирали жен и родственников. Это было почти геноцидом: расстрелы казахской знати, верующих и искусственный голодомор.

Thank you so much for visiting the country my parents are from ❤ it's nice to see it from a tourists perspective and with your positive nature. Now we live in Germany, my parents came here almost 30 years ago. Originally my ancestors lived in the Wolga region of Russia and were deported to Kazakhstan after worldwar 2, because all germans were considered traitors, even when they already lived for 200 years in Russia. Other ethnicities were also affected by this, for example koreans. Many of them ended up with nothing in Kazakhstan and the kazakh people took them in with much hospitality. There are many stories of my grandparents, where they were starving and kazakh people helped them out with food without wanting anything back. They are such generous and nice people and I wish I can someday visit this country. also Plov and Beshbarmak are my favourite dishes! 😍

[@kdilya]

We Kazakhs love our Germans. You guys are the most grateful

[@FloraandNote]

Thanks for sharing your family story with us 😊

[@grafberemor]

Many peoples were sent into exile in Kazakhstan, but the best and most grateful are YOU, our beloved Germans! when and if you decide to come to us, write, I’ll meet you and show you our country!

[@rassul403]

Horse meat is the most ecologically clean meat. They graze in the steppes and eat wormwood. They are not allowed to use chemicals. I don’t know how it is in other countries, but in Kazakhstan it is like that.

[@FloraandNote]

That makes sense why it's a high quality meat and therefore, also more expensive than beef and sheep.

[@qazaqeli2270]

You also forgot to mention that horses never drink dirty water. Try whatever you want but they won't. They're one of the cleanest animals

I just googled about these "white balls" on the internet and found a very interesting article about them. It's definitely kurut and very typical of Central Asia. Nomads eat these sour cheese balls. They are very filling and keep for a long time. When buying them, you have to make sure that they aren't stuffed with flour! and cheese to make them cheaper. Excellent kurut is only made from cheese.

[@yb_Ali]

They are like energy balls/ super food. When nomadic warriors travelled long distances, they d eat kurt to get all vitamins and electrolytes.

[@zhzh4307]

We have a lot of kinds and tastes of kurt. There are sweet, sour, salty and colourful (red, green, blue) kurt.

[@kireina-miyus1624]

Interesting fact about that bazaar and people in general, you can actually see different ethnicities on different products, like dairy is mostly Turkish and Russian women, dried fruits are mostly uzbeks and Tajiks (they look Persian), Salads are Koreans and Kazakhs (Asian looking), also usually everything about horse, meat and dairy also Kazakhs (Asians), pork Russians, so here you go that’s how you can tell the difference between Kazakhstani people

[@carpe5432]

Horse meat is also quite dietary, it does not have a lot of fats. Also, you don’t eat what you ride. So there are different types of horses for meat and riding. Thanks you, I love the quality of your videos a lot

[@carpe5432]

By the way, don’t worry, curt is weird on your first try. It’s sour, salty and tart. People used to melt them in teas as a replacement for milk. But many people nowadays eat it as snacks, almost like chips, but it has much less calories

[@OliveHampton-ee6kd]

The milky ball you tried is very full of calcium. And people get easily full by eating it. So our nation used to took this when they are moving to another place. So it is easy snack. That helps to stay full and energetic on their way. And still we actually love the taste of it, for you guys maybe it is too salty. But as for me I can not live without it .

Shopping and tasting in Green farmmarket in Almaty is definitely an unique experience for foreign tourists. KZ produces the best quality melons as well as other middle Asian countries.
