Cooking Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyz traditional dishes are often made out of mutton. If you go to Kyrgyzstan, try the shurpa, a dish with mutton and vegetable soup or besh bermak, cooked lamp with pasta broth. You will surely also taste plov, a dish of rice served with meat and vegetables cooked in a cauldron. Kyrgyz also love cheese and yoghurt. To drink, you'll have "tchaï" tea you will find almost everywhere and at all hours, and kumiss, drink made from fermented mare milk, a little alcoholized and especially very sour. Lastly and above all the king of alcohol: vodka.
