Small&Remote Markets

bluemoon (70)in #esteem • 6 years ago (edited)

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, of course!). This is a loved challenge and an example of how to initiate and support such a thing ... thanks to Denise.

My adventure away from home in the city of Iasi continues ... as I know the few friends who read the post from last week.

When you are in a new and unknown place my opinion is that you need to find out more about what you can visit and how to get to the markets and the special stores that are preferred by locals. That's how we learned about two small markets, unfortunately far from each other and both far from where we live in Iasi.

That's why we chose to go to the first market, it's very far from home, but because we decided to walk at least five kilometers every day, we use this opportunity.

We crossed the city!

First Market - An Eco Market

We came to the market but a surprise awaiting us (in all this adventure I am with my wife) ... people were not excited at all when I wanted to photograph. So, in order not to disturb I photographed from a distance.

That is how the goods are brought into the market, not too hygienic but very fresh, corn for boiling picked that morning.

In fact this is the advantage of this very small market, it is only open in the weekend and there are brought vegetables, fruits, dairy products and meat from the country, eco products.

I'm sorry I could not show you these products because the vendors were suspicious and did not like being photographed. They probably have their reasons.

I bought: a chicken, cheese, bread made in the house, sausages, eggs, onion, carrot, celery and something special is called "bors" - it is like a juice which is for the soup

The Second Market - Fruits

The second market, which is a few kilometers outside the city, is a smaller market, only for fruits!

No such trip is justified, there are plenty of fruit in the city but where we go is a very beautiful place, the fruits are picked from the nearby orchards and are much cheaper!

The place is called: Golden Apple

It's a golden apple guarded by the sword in hand, by a knight in the armor!

That pleasant place is in the middle of a forest and fruit and fruit juices are sold there. It is not a great variety of fruits but they are extremely fresh and tasty (and as I have already said, cheap)...

I bought nectarines, peaches and plums. Only these fruits were ready to be picked and sold. Very good!

I said goodbye to this beautiful place and we were glad to have visited it, both because of the landscape and the fruits. We have now for a whole week!

After so much movement, of course, we were hungry. We went quickly to the house to cook something with what I bought!

"Bors" with chicken and sour cream

I guess you do not know what "bors" means! Bors is a kind of soup, just that it is sour. Sour not from sour cream but from "bors". Bors is a fermented beverage made from the fermentation of ground wheat grains. It's more complicated than that, but it's hard to explain.

Let's start food preparation

Ingredients

chicken; onions, carrots, celery, parsley root, pepper, salt, "bors"; cream.

Put the chicken in pieces and boil it in a saucepan with water. While the chicken boils (about 1/2 hour), cut the vegetables into small pieces.

We're also preparing the "bors". It is in that bottle, it's also boiled in a small pot, to be ready for use at the right time.

After the chicken has firing a little, put all the vegetables in the pot to boil together. During this time I cut some red tomatoes . After the chicken has firing, put all the vegetables in the pot to boil together. During this time I take a few red tomatoes to boil in another pot, with some oil.

We'll check if they cook the vegetables. If they are soft, add the tomatoes prepared previously to boil together and the boiled "bors".

As always, at the end add the green, in this case parsley, salt and pepper.

The soup(now "bors") is ready

Finally, we will eat! It took over an hour to cook this food. May be eaten with sour cream or not, to the taste of everyone.

Thank you for the long trip with me. I hope you liked it!

I am so glad you found some great markets while you are away! I always miss the ones back home as I am familiar with my people but have to admit, the adventure of a new place can be fun!

I really like that place with all the fresh fruit and don't really mind the other market, although it may seem more unsanitary with them bringing in their foods like that, most farmers markets are like that. I just clean it when I get home.

I am familiar with what you call bors, I think. Bors consists of wheat or barley bran, sometimes sugar beet, fermented in water - a slightly yellowish, sour liquid. They also call it borscht in the States.

Thank you so much for the recipe! I look forward to all of your simple (usually) and always delicious food you prepare. Thank you for taking the time and the energy to do this! They are always awesome!

Yes you are right! We are accustomed to the home market, we are known there, we have friends but the fact that we discover new places is exciting. Yes, farmers markets are unsanitary and the solution is to thoroughly clean the purchased products.
It's a surprise for me that you know about bors, you made a better description than mine ... so it's done, except for sugar beets. Since I think bors is of Russian origin, I did not expect to be known in the US.
Thank you for giving me thanks! I also thank you!

I grew up in Connecticut, very close to New York City, but, more country. We have many European decent people and very many Jewish people that use it. I believe it is of Russian origin, or at the very least Eastern European.

Forgive my late reply, I was to see my mother...it was my #sublime Sunday! Yes, I think that Jewish people use it. There were many Jews in Romania, hundreds of thousands! They definitely ate bors.

The fruit market is beautiful! Cute name. Cute place. And what delicious fruit! I'm keen to try your recipe. Great photos. I love dishes from different countries, different cultures. Here in South Africa (in Afrikaans) bors means chest. We would call the chicken breast "hoender bors". Is it the same?

Thank you for feedback! Please forgive my delayed reply, I went to a place with less internet and where I could not answer. I have been very busy with relatives (I was to see my mom, I posted today about this little trip). It's not related to the chest. Bors is to make the soup a bit sour, it is a fermented but not alcoholic beverage. I think it's Russian.
