Hello, my friends!
I haven’t participated in #MarketFriday by @dswigle for ages, and today the time has come! This post is also inspired by my recent short stories about Odessa city.
All right, let's go. Odessa is a port city and therefore a large trading center. Goods from different cities and countries come here by sea. They even have a saying, that "Odessa begins with Pryvoz Market".
The idea of city building plan assumed the location of trading rows likely to the Champs Elysees.
The first market appeared on the next year after founding of the city, in 1795. Later it was named "Old Market".
In 1827 the new marketplace was constructed at the big square was as a continuation of the Old Market. It was named "Pryvoz", that origins from our word "to bring", because first, all goods were brought here and sold right from carts and wagons. They still say: at Pryvoz you can find everything and a little more.
We stayed in Odessa for a couple of days, and everywhere I go I like to eat meal prepared by myself from local food. In fact, the process of shopping and visiting local street markets and grocery is my biggest fun.
My goal at Pryvoz was fish and seafood, and special local sort of strawberry. And trust me, I was not disappointed :D
Black Sea Shrimps are the favorite tread of all locals:
Have you ever tasted the Danube herring? It has the best taste in April and May. If you tried it once, I swear you'll never forget it :D
Well, when I got some fish, you will probably need a beer. The caption on the wall of these bar assures that the best beer in Odessa city is on this very street.
Thank you so much for a visit! I hope you are having a wonderful Friday 13th!
Regards,
I am with @qurator, and you?
