Must Eat: Local Muslim food trip in Dagestan: Khinkal, Chudu, Urbech

Get ready to loosen your belts because in this episode of Must Eat I am in Dagestan and the portion sizes are well… massive. But let’s see if any of this exotic fair is any good. Let the Dagestan travel begin!
I started my culinary adventure at Makhachkala’s “Second Market” where I grabbed some fresh pomegranate juice and tried some sun-dried and salted sheep, as well as Ubrech which is basically Soviet nut butter with all sorts of flavors and variations. They also had all sorts of spices and meat to buy, but I was on vacation, and I wanted to be fed amazing
Muslim food not make it myself.

So from there, I went to Restaurant-Museum on Lermontov Street to treat myself to some awesome cuisine made by local chefs with only local ingredients. I had Khinkal and Chudu which, if you don’t know what those are, stop reading and watch the video. A picture is worth a thousand words my friends. Anyways, after my fine dining was done my food and
travel adventure continued as I went to the Eent road shite cafe.
When you are doing a travel food blog you need to keep things spontaneous and I honestly had no plans to film at this place, I was just hungry. But I was so impressed that I turned on the cameras. I had a bowl of fantastic bean soup and an ultra cheesy Botishal.

So yeah I had a great time, gained weight and learned about some new food that I had never heard of before. A big win all around!
