Market Shopping and Lunch With a Russian Family

Caviar
A Russian market. Beautiful produce, which our guide told us was beyond the reach of middle class Russians. The caviar counter. Red caviar in abundance, black caviar less plentiful but still in good supply, in small plastic containers.
A huge meat department with a wide selection of freshly butchered meat. Beautiful freshly made bread.


The 1950s "Khruschev apartment", in a bad state of repair, where our hostess has her flat. The beautiful, but tiny, flat of our gracious hostess Lidia, and the wonderful table she set for us.
