Truly local fruits and berries and what to try in Sochi from the local.

When you come to the south, you want to warm up in the sun and eat local fruits and berries. We have a very rich country and a lot of things are growing. Recently, a lot of “rubber” fruits have also been brought. I will write what we have and when it ripens and where to buy. Mid to early May: strawberries, blueberries. June: Mushmula, blueberries, early peach, strawberries, currants, plums, sharafuga, cherries and cherries, not quite local, from the Krasnodar Territory, Adygea. July: your tomato, your cucumbers, raspberries imported from the region and Adygea, late peach (Red Haven, which is local), apricot (local and Krasnodar), early apples, repairable strawberries, early pears. August: grapes, pears, apples, watermelons and melons from the Krasnodar Territory. September: azimina, local Isabella grapes and different varieties of Krasnodar and Dagestani grapes. October-November persimmon, feijoa, hazelnuts, pecan from Abkhazia. December tangerines, lemons, oranges from Turkey, but tasty. It is best to buy in the markets in microdistricts. For example, the market in Dagomys, on Jan Fabricius, on Matsesta. The market in Sochi is just a high, where you go, choose everything tasty and for sure nothing bad is not subject. I go to the one closest to home, Matsesta. Also try real local cheeses, we have local cheesemakers who make not only pigtails and Adyghe, but aged cheeses, the cheese is delicious. Many peoples of the Caucasus also live in Sochi and there is really very tasty lavash and bread. I try not to eat bread, but it should be noted that it is full of bakeries and lavash hot and the bread is fresh and tasty. Instead of churkhela, it is better to buy dried persimmon, as a gift of honey. Local honey can be bitter, it often has an admixture of chestnut, bitterness its property. The other day I was overbought, ranny nose, went from a neighbor bought honey, ate for the night, today almost normal. If you go to Polyana, try trout. It is in private cafes fresh, tender, without the taste of mud. If you go to Skypark, look down, blue water lakes are trout pools. It is also worth trying the local tea. From any plantation, the main thing is the May manual collection. From the local fish sea mullet, only fried in a crispy breadboard, mackerel, sargan, flounder. I'm not a fisherman and I don't know how to cook fish. In restaurants, seafood is delicious, but trout is still tastier. Enjoy your journey!
