Lugansk Information

[Dr Nick]

Hello,

Yes you can definitely get turkey in Lugansk.

A couple of year back the in-laws had obviously been reading up on British Christmas traditions and bought one for us when we went over.

I really hate turkey but had to put on a brave face. To make matters more comical yet, since they had never had one before, I had to cook it!

On the plus side it tasted much better than the UK ones. In other words it had a taste.

Quite expensive, more than UK I think but not 100 bucks. Unless you were going to buy one the size of a small car. Actually, since these are real turkeys, not some product of factory farming, you probably won't be able to get a really huge one.

Have fun shopping. Best place is a reputable market stall I would have thought unless you can buy one from the person who raised it. That would be best.

You don't like turkey, and you had to cook it, too.. how did it happen you don't like Indiaka?

I bought the turkey, here in Kansas, $.66 a pound, 8 kilos for about 10$. Turkey sandwiches, re-heated, microwaved, breakfast, dinner and supper now with gravy, gave some to the 3-4 cats who are always sniffing around the front door...

Still can't get my mind around how to get to Lugansk - 3 different airlines, scheduling. How to get to the airport in Kansas City (130 miles away) is my biggest problem... $200 for the taxi or $150 to park the car for 30 days (if I had a car that was working) or take the once-a-day bus to downtown KC, + taxi to the airport, too late for that day's flight, have to stay in expensive motel...Yeah, I know, just "git-er-done" as they say in Kansas.
