Cuisine Uzbekistan

Leger

A crossroads of the Silk Road, Uzbek cuisine blends rich rice, grilled meats, hand-pulled noodles and tandoor-baked breads. You eat seated on tapchans, with green tea flowing freely.

Etiquette

Regles a table

1

You break the bread by hand, never with a knife, and never leave it turned over.

2

The host fills your tea bowl a little, often: it's a mark of attention, not stinginess.

3

You take off your shoes before stepping onto the tapchan (raised dining platform).

Regime

Pour les vegetariens et vegans

Samsa au potiron, manti végétariens et non se trouvent facilement.

Achichuk salads (tomato-onion) and vegetable soups exist, but vegetarianism remains little understood outside the big cities.
