Nomadic herding lifestyle has been part of Mongolians life for thousand of years because of this Mongolians are closely intertwined with the natural environment and the life is more dependent on their livestocks. The food and beverages are very heavy and strong, also because of the extremely weather and harsh winter. The main diet is Meat( mutton, goat, beef , horse and camel) flour, rice and very less vegetable ( potatoes, onion and cabbage) and milk products for sure
Mongolians have various way of cooking meat and producing milk, main method of cooking meat is boiling and steaming. Buuz a kind of dumpling is one of the traditional food in Mongolia cooked by steaming, it’s normally cooked in especial occasions like Tsagaan Sar and more respected visitors.
Khuushuur (Fried meat pie) , Tsuivan ( thick noodles with meat and vegetables) and many kinds of soups especially drunk in winter to keep them warm.
Boodog and Horhog is made in only special time and marmot or
goat and mutton is cut into small pieces and cooked in an animal skin and slowly roasted from the inside out by placing the hot rocks inside when eating Boodog Mongolians pass the hot rocks from hand to hand which said good for health. Very delicious food and after that supposed to drink only cold water or airag.
In Mongolia we say “give your breakfast to yourself and share your lunch with your friend and offer your dinner to your enemy” So from here you can see how important the breakfast is for Mongolians Eventough the dinner is still the biggest part for day If you’re invited to Mongolians for dinner please try everything you are offered at least sip or nibble remember that Mongolians are very hospitality people and they offer whatever they have if you don’t try anything you could make them upset.

So It’s impossible to imagine Mongolia without salty milk tea Suutei tsai added small quantity of tea leaves. Elder people like to add some butter and even some dried meat Borts to make it more tasteful. It’s very nourishing most of the time accompanied with fried home made cookie Boortsog .
Mongolians never put milk into the river. in a countryside milk plays the main role of the dairy product called Tsagaan Idee, producing milk into Clotted cream (urum), yogurt (tarag) , cheese (Byaslag) ,dried curd (aaruul), cream ( zookhii) takes whole day work after one by one. Milk product are very healthy and good for teeth you will admire people are how strong and healthy in Mongolia
Do you believe if I say Mongolian kids start drinking alcohol Airag when they are only three four years old .Airag is one of the Mongolian traditional beverages which is fermented mare milk generally made from end of June to end of September. Traditionally it kept in a bag made of cow’s skin but also can be kept in huge plastic container. The fall is the best time to try Airag when it gets strongest and usually in this time Mongolians celebrate wedding .Don’t be shocked if you are offered huge cup of airag and you should drink three cups of that and probably have opportunity to play traditional game “Dembe”. This game for two person, each side trying to guess right sum of fingers, which both shows to each other. Loser have to drink a bowl of airag. It can continue many hours until one of sides will say “enough”.
