I met monks breeding sturgeon, Stalinist motorcyclists, fishmongers, an imam who built his minaret from a Soviet boiler chimney, Tatar rockers and more on a lazy cruise down the Volga river for this @guardiancities longread. theguardian.com/cities/2018/ma…

There's an entire display devoted to 'insects in food' at one of the fancier Loblaw's. Gourmet crickets is a strange confluence of markets.
