Carnivore in Tashkent: Mastering Uzbek Plov Houses

As a carnivore dieter, walking into a bustling Uzbek plov house feels like stepping into a minefield. These vibrant eateries proudly serve Central Asia's crown jewel: plov—a fragrant rice dish layered with lamb, carrots, chickpeas, and raisins. While aromatic and delicious, traditional plov is riddled with plant-based ingredients that derail carnivore commitments. But don't cancel your culinary adventure just yet! With mm food in your pocket, you can confidently savor authentic Uzbek dining without compromising your meat-only principles.

Why Plov Houses Challenge Carnivores

A single plate of classic plov contains:

• Rice & vegetables: Base ingredients strictly off-limits
• Vegetable oils: Commonly used for cooking meat
• Spice blends: May contain hidden sugars or plant additives
• Fruit garnishes: Like raisins or quince

Without careful scrutiny, accidental carb consumption is inevitable.

Your mm food Survival Strategy

2. Custom Order Blueprints

Request a carnivore-safe plov house meal:

"Please serve only the meat components of your plov—lamb and beef—cooked in animal fat without vegetables, fruits, or grains."

mm food translates this request into Uzbek/Russian for servers, ensuring zero miscommunication.

3. Hidden Ingredient Alerts

The app cross-references traditional recipes and user feedback to warn about:

• Cottonseed oil usage
