Another national favourite. Mares Milk is
fermented (so yes, its alcoholic). It should be noted that it is seen
to be very rude to not try mares milk if offered to you, you have three
options at this point:
1. Drink Up
2. Place the bowl to your lips and pretend to drink
3. Place your middle finger lightly in
the milk and then flick three times once to you left, once to your right
and then upwards as an offering to the spirits.
Mutton and Noodle Soup – Guriltai Shol
The name speaks for itself, this dish is usually quite tasty as the noodles are normally fresh and handmade.
Five Fingers
A family meal like no other. All the parts of the sheep are stewed
together in a large pot: this includes meat, stomach, fat and of course
the head, which is expertly carved up by the oldest male of the ger…..if
you’re lucky you might get offered an eyeball! Traditionally, different
organs are supposed to be eaten by different members of the family… if
that tradition is being observed you may end up with no choice about
eating some very strange offal! Either way, once the meat is on the
plate, in a dark ger, every mouthful is a gamble!
