    We've never had the Uzbekistan food before but those kebab skewers though, that's what we're gonna order too! yes we love hearts! :) and pistachio is our most FAV baklava flavor...and ohh really not too sweet baklava? that must be super good!

    • @FoodandFootprints
      @FoodandFootprints  5 років тому

      AnS Episodes Kebabs are a MUST order at an Uzbek restaurant. Hearts are some of the best innards! This is your kind of baklava then!

      Ema Vane Get yourself some Uzbek calf liver! Turon is delicious though - could go for one right now.

    I love kabobs. Raw onion is one of my favorites. I use to love liver just need to it more again (with 🍚). Lamb meat kabobs sound so good. Oh man, didn’t know they served lamb testicles. Baklava is one of the best deserts ever.

    • @FoodandFootprints
      @FoodandFootprints  5 років тому +1

      That simple raw onion is a nice pairing for the kebabs. Haha did you get flashbacks to that turkey video? 😂

    Grilled meats and meat in pastry? Yes, please! And I absolutely love sweetbreads. My mother used to coat them in breadcrumbs and fry them in the pan. In fact, the only thing in this video that I would not touch was the green baklava. Sadly, I am deathly allergic to pistachios.

    • @FoodandFootprints

    One day two vegetarians from USA came to Uzbekistan and asked me to eat somewhere. I invited them to the restaurant. I didn't know that they are vegetarians before going to the restaurant. When we were at the moment of booking something to eat they asked dishes or salads without meet, unfortunly they had to eat bread with tea 😂😂😂. Because there were nothing without meet even salads
