One of the best ways to get to know a destination is through their cuisine. And winter is the perfect time to explore their quintessential foods, as many of them are hearty. Mongolia’s gastronomy is rooted in ingredients yielded by the animals herded by nomadic families upon the vast steppe. These include cattle, sheep, goats, horses, camels, and some game meat. From these animals, they draw milk and create a range of delicious dairy products.
