BTW for those veges they would be about $20 here in New Zealand in season, maybe more (its winter here). The quail eggs aren't readily available here. We pay about NZ$9 for a tray of 30 caged hen eggs and NZ$8 for a dozen free range hen eggs.

    • @rayzala1393
      @rayzala1393 2 роки тому

      In Sweden is makes sense that youd pay $29 it's a socialist country afterall where everything is going to be inflated. Here In Canada it'd prob cost you $12. That's why people need to understand the negatives of socialism. Sure school and healthcare is free. But you'll be paying loads for produce and rent so does it even matter when you can barely survive?

      SlapShotRegatta, next logical question would be what's your average wage/salary/payment in Ukraine? Answer: not very high, so it's not as cheap as you may think for regular Ukrainians especially now when lots of people lost their jobs. Also almost everybody in Ukraine has a garden. My dad said they were having big harvest this year probably except of wheat because Russian herd is burning wheat in this war purposely. My dad was trying to sell out ORGANIC cherries and nobody wanted to buy them because again they are having lots of cherries this year.
      It's good Ukrainian soil is so rich, this year Ukrainians will be having problems with heating their homes but at least won't be hungry

      In Ukraine actually the prices are not so low, but here Pavlo has shown the purchase of produce at the sidewalk, which is tax-free and basically illegal to be sold. But the country can do nothing about it, as people performing this are usually pensioners, that need some money to survive. Although the quality of such products is often better, than at a supermarket. Also you should consider, that due to the war, the US dollar has strengthened relatively to UAH and people have no choice, as to sell cheaper, because the purchasing power has gotten lower, despite fuel for example has become much more expensive.

    • @aaronwilcox6417
      @aaronwilcox6417 2 роки тому +3

      You also have to consider that in some sense the prices and commodity of Ukraine is also subsidized by billions of US and euro dollars via military aid packages that make it possible for them. There's hidden costs in everything when you get down into it.

      @Adora Tsang No, Ukrainians only earn around ~$6500 a year, which makes Ukraine the poorest country in Europe. In India people earn $2500 a year(as poor as many African countries) but i earn $11000 as an engineer which is almost 5 times more than an average indian.. but $11k is still very low compared to incomes in Western Europe and North America. Where are you from and how is the life there ?!? 🙂

      @Adora Tsang I was at Safeway (Hawaii) in July and saw exorbitant prices compared to Germany or Italy.

    In London it's not always cheaper in the market, than the grocery store/supermarket or better quality, because it's far from the countryside - but - you eat healthier as there are no tempting chocolates, cakes and sweets! But some thing's like avocados, garlic, bell peppers, they can be good value. I think for 2$ that was incredibly good value and I'd love to shop so efficiently! 🌱😊

    I live in Minnesota, and you would get a fraction of that for $2.00. Last weekend I bought one large white onion, and it was $2.00 at a large, local grocery chain store. I'm with the Michigan person below. All that would cost $15 plus here. All you need now is some sort of meat for a great meal. My wife is of Slovenian decent, and she would sour those cucumbers. Slice thin. Add sliced onions. A generous amount of pepper. Then mix with vinegar and oil. She may also add a pinch of sugar. I'm not sure. Best to cover and let sit overnight in refrigerator before eating.

      So really we should have strong industrial and agricultural economic activity, and everything from food to electricity to industrial goods should be very cheap
      But Australia, just like the USA and all other western countries has sold itself out to globalism and now even two incomes isn't enough to support a family. Ironically I basically just described why Putin is fighting NATO in Ukraine

    Pavlo, its great that you support local farmer's market. My wife and I do the same here in Wisconsin, the plus side is even if price is same as supermarket we get fresher higher quality produce and local gardner's/farmer's make more money (no middlemen!). Besides its alway nice talking with them about what they have, and what will be new the next time!

      @@pavlofromukraine One day I was in a Slavic restaurant in Sacramento and had amazing borscht, fresh bread and salo for the first time. There are many people who live in Sacramento from Ukraine, Russia, Serbia and Croatia. There are a few Serbian churches, Ukraine and Russian communities and until recently a Russian AM radio station ( in Russian) . Most of these people are in groups and know each other. One day I met man at a local hardware store who recently moved from Siberia as a Beekeeper. This is an agricultural area and bees are very important to pollinate the crops. One unfortunate thing I do not understand is that highly trained engineers from Ukraine or Russia have credentials and degrees that are not recognized! Too bad. So these people have to work in different trades. Physics, calculus and statistics are not based on language or culture. The integral and trig functions are the same in all languages!

      Salo (food)
      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
      The Slavic word "salo" or "salanina" as applied to this type of food (it has other meanings as well) is often translated to English as "bacon" or "lard". Unlike lard, salo is not rendered. Unlike bacon, salo has little or no lean meat. It is similar to Italian lardo, the main differences being the thickness of the cut (lardo is often sliced very thinly) and seasoning. East Slavic salo uses salt, garlic, black pepper and sometimes coriander in the curing process, while lardo is generally seasoned with rosemary and other herbs.
