On Saturday I had to run an errand to Commercial Street; one of the main shopping areas in Bangalore. After finishing my driver wanted to show me a market nearby. We walked to Russell Market. At Russell Market you can get all types of fresh fruits and vegetables and fresh meat. Really fresh meat. The following photos show Russell Market. Warning: The photos show the really fresh meat. Don't say I didn't warn you...
A typical clothing booth on the way to Russell Market
The Bascilica of St. Mary - The largest church in Bangalore
A typical street scene
Vegetables
Fresh Mutton
Fish - Bangalore is 150 mi from the ocean so not sure how fresh it is
If you want "decent poultry" this is the place to go
If you want to step up to "excellent poultry" you just need to go next door.
If you want to go all out you can move up to "famous chicken"
Here is what they are all trying to sell you - very very frest poultry
This photo I just love because it captures one of the things that makes Bangalore so interesting; the old and the new side-by-side. The guy in the foreground is wearing an i-pod, you can see the ear buds, while his friend is delivering a tray of sweets the old-fashioned way
The last stop is the beef building
Don't let all the birds of prey bother you. I don't know if they are hawks or eagles but they are big.
Only the beef building has these birds. I guess that means the beef is the most fresh...
And here is the fresh beef
One last photo of a few of the thousands of auto-rickshaws in town
