Oh my god. So many flavors in there. I love it. It's like a biryani. A non-veg biryani in a way. Wow. Then right here we have the pork and I already see bones. It's a light curry. This is not spicy at all. A Russian salad with pork. This salad is so good. Alright so for the liver I'm just gonna take the whole thing. I love liver. Nice chewy. Then I might have to get another one of those. It was so good. The rice is so freaking delicious. This is like the ultimate biryani. This dish is blowing my mind. The last thing to try. This is like a sausage but it's intestines right? Yeah it is intestine. I'm definitely a carnivore. That was so freaking delicious. It was juicy. I'm gonna keep going. And as you can see the pork it's nice and fatty. There's some bones in here so what I do is I just separate it. Just amazing. My man this is so freaking good. This is a whole different world of Indian food. So I'm just having the jadoo and the I love it. And you cannot do it without the chili actually. Oh what? It's hot. Is it hot? Yeah it's hot. You want to try? Dude it's hot. But I like it. Fermented soya bean and it's made into a chutney. Just try a bit. Just don't try so much also. A little bit. It's a little spicy. Not so spicy. We're entering the kitchen now to see how they're cooking the food. Whoa amazing. All the pots like that. Insane. The one which we just had the first was the is actually cooking this pot over here. And this is actually the rice or you love to call it biryani. It's called jadoo in our traditional language. It's the same thing. It's rice. Still boiling. Still peppering. This is amazing. This is so cool. I love how they put you know the pieces of the firewood under it. You want me to try a fruit? Yeah a traditional fruit. Let's try it. It's here? Yeah. Oh this is awesome. This experience is like none other. This is the fruit right there? That's the fruit? That's the fruit. It's called sosham. It's traditionally. Sometimes it can be sweet. Sometimes it can be sour. It depends on which one you get it. Sosham. Yeah correct. Sosham. Yeah. A big seed in the middle. Yeah the big seed in the middle. It has the consistency of a tomato. Yeah. But it's sour. It's sour. You got a sour one. Actually you can get a sweet one too. I like it though. I like sour stuff. Next up we're gonna enter the beef market. Beef market. We just saw the guys walking down from the top of the market to the bottom where the beef market is with these huge carcasses of beef. It was like something I've never seen before with tail wagging. Oh my god this is so cool. This is like it feels I gotta say it feels like a market it's 200 years ago. Yeah. You know it's like I'm going backwards in time here. Yeah true. You really feel the traditional old rustic market out of it. Yeah yeah it's dying worldwide you know so this is cool So we're going now to the meat market. So actually out here the number of meat that comes every day is like a lot. It's humongous. You should see right from the start. Like people really love beef and pork out here. This guy's axing away a 70 kilo piece of beef. As you can see he just breaks it down cuts it in half then he cuts it into pieces. You can see they take away the ribs the stomach goes to the right. I mean so many wow just too many guys doing this right now. It's a spectacle watching them butcher the beef. It's just something I've never seen before especially in India because in India beef is like not really allowed in most places but here in Meghalaya they have beef and most of northeast likes beef. Okay and then now that we've finished the beef we're entering the pork section. You can see huge bores. He's cutting them into pieces. Right here we have this guy mincing the meat. So he's cutting into tiny tiny pieces like basically dicing it up. I really believe that you won't see this anywhere else in India. A beef and pork market combined with so much action at one time. You come here you get the freshest beef the freshest pork you just order from the guy you tell him what you want you want pork loin you want pork feet whatever you want the head they'll give it to you. So actually they're selling out for all the intestine the the soft tissues that in the body of a cow. So you can see here you have the stomach out here you have the the large intestine the small intestine you have the liver out there you have the carcass you have the tongue which is one of the favorite delicacy actually they're made into what we just had earlier the mix a salad type they do that. Look at the tongue this is cow tongue beef wow. So now we are exiting the pork market and the beef market and we're going to the fish market. So that is in the next direction I'll take David. So I guess it's another like mesmerizing experience right? Lots of fish being like cut up the smells the juices flying in the air. I mean this is so freaking raw I mean it's hardcore raw experience. Right here as you can see that's the pipeline it's just out so raw this place. So we enter the vegetable market now? We're entering the vegetable market the fish market and the chicken market in this straight line. So we have to go through this whole thing to get to the the other market? Yeah. Okay. So we have reached the fish market so David just watch your steps it's very slippery out here. And look at the fish. So there's one fish here that everybody's selling and it's called? Kaba. And it's a river fish or what is it? It's a river fish. Pond fish. Okay yeah I mean there's so many of them you really have to be careful I almost slipped but as you can see I mean there's so much fish there's easily like 30-40 vendors here and you just ask them for the food they'll cut it up for you. Oh and this is a piranha. If you don't like seeing animals being butchered don't come to this market if you're up for the experience I highly recommend coming here because it's one of the most unique markets I've ever been to in my life. I mean the whole thing is just like you go up and down hills wet dry there's there's wires there's food there's fish there's meat there's pork I mean in this part the fish markets are really cool and I mean it's just like never ending like you know feast on the eyes of your sensory overload here. These are actually all river fish these are river fish and these are pond fish and most of the fish also come from the other state of India like West Bengal and all those state Orissa, West Bengal so we get a number of fish. But every day right because it's fresh? Every day they have to come. Okay so everything here everything here was caught basically yesterday or this morning these fish are alive? Basically yesterday. Yesterday. That fish market was incredible but now we're off to the chicken and duck market. Chicken and duck. Yeah chicken and duck. Oh my god so many markets so many. Dry fish market again. Dry fish market? Yeah. I'm good with dry fish let's go see some chicken and duck. Yeah. Okay we just entered the chicken market actually here a lot of chicken are sold even ducks for example like the hand a little bit out the top so we can move. So what chicken do we have here? So we have the local chicken and we call it the boiler chicken the white ones are the boiler chicken so the local one are more delicious actually when you eat it than the white one. A never-ending chicken market. The roosters. What's up bro what's up what's up oh this guy's passing through pass through wow so many chicken incredible everybody's like in shock oh man dude the ducks let me see ducks so we have a duck the hen the pigeon actually i'm very surprised with the pigeon because i never knew that they sell pigeons i mean they eat pigeon a lot especially in Assam i had pigeon with my thali the duck i haven't had it yet i haven't had it up here yet wow i feel really bad but at the same time i eat this every day so and that's it we just finished up with the chicken market i think the only thing left is to try those snacks that we bought earlier yeah all right so where do we go to do that i will move out of the market okay to somewhere else yeah is it going to be hard to get out of here i mean it looks like it's going to be a little insane a little bit insane i mean just so many lanes and by lanes and it's just like forever and up and down and what i forgot to tell you one thing david tell me this market is actually run by a king what the the traditional king who he owns this market so everyone has to pay a tax to him so from the market we walked over to another like it's like a mall slash market here's like a tiny cafe i mean literally it's like two big stools and here we got some red tea and then we're also gonna try the food that we bought earlier so the red tea is something like very is it really hot okay that has to get cold so this is called the rice cake the red cake you open it all right here we go okay very very very dry yeah that's why i told you you didn't have to take the red tea you have to get it down right yes i like the coconut put a little bit more coconut on top yeah should i introduce you to one more if not doesn't go down throat yeah you need a lot of tea i like this tea this is very minty tea it's like we tried earlier right yeah so this is puklin puklin puklin what is actually rice mixed with jaggery and it's fried this reminds me of something in japan okay there's like tastes almost like a tofu that's been fried yes but inside very mushy what i do with this is just dip in here yes correct that's how we eat traditionally yeah way better because the mushiness and the tea gets absorbed into it makes it a lot softer this is awesome all right cool the next one is a little bit sticky it's called pulung it's actually there's a two part of this there's a another one called pudo means it's mixed with meat inside it's kept inside so it's more like the traditional momo or traditional dumplings and what's inside this one here there's nothing nothing nothing that's why it's called pulung so this feels like a super dense sticky rice yeah super dense sticky rice and you do the same here just use your tea dip it yeah oh wow i told you it's very very sticky you need to chew it slowly and this one we're cheating you haven't tried no no i'm done okay guys so we did it we had a delicious delicious breakfast pork feast at the market what was the name of the market yodo and it's called barabazar in the uh the general way of saying it's barabazar local way it's yodo yodo okay so we had an incredible experience there i mean the food was fantastic but the experience just going through the market from the chicken market the beef market the fish market what else did we do i mean we went through the fruit market the fruit market i mean never-ending markets the clothing market the book market i mean i didn't film everything but there's so many things i think the crazy experience for me was going through the beef and pork market yes it was like sensory overload and something you would not see anywhere else in india only here northeast in meghalaya well guys if you love this video please give it a thumbs up leave me a comment below subscribe to my channel subscribe to travel with paul on youtube and we'll see you in the next travel food adventure in shillong meghalaya peace
