- rare phenomena in the Russian markets. You may certainly suggest to the seller than he/she
- give you a better deal if you buy 2 kilos of apples instead of just 1, but don't be surprised
- if the answer is "No".</p><p>It is common practice for the sellers to offer prospective customers a dripping forkful of
- homemade pickled cabbage or to tempt them with some other tasty tidbit in the hopes of a sale.
- You may also feel comfortable in asking to sample some produce. The best time of day to shop
- the markets is early in the morning as the freshest produce and meats go quickly.</p></div></body></html>
