Mongolian culinary tour

Food and diet are an integral part of the Mongolian culture,

which originated from Huns' time. The stories about Mongolian

traditional cuisine probably will dispel one's perception that

"Nomadic people in Mongolia eat only meat after De-sectioning

a carcass meat to bone ratio and boiling it.

Anyone will agree that cuisine or dish of any nation has close

relation to the richness of their culture, nature, geography and

practice of earning for living. Mongolian traditional cuisine has

been enriched with cooking tradition of many other nations

which is tracked with history of the nation 800 years ago, the

time of the conquest. As a result of the conquest, which led to

rapid culture exchange and integration of nations Mongolia was

quick to embrace cuisines from other parts of the world.
