 Gastronomy

Tajik traditional dishes are often made of mutton and assorted vegetables. Tajiks also love spices and aromatic herbs. Among local specialties is the nahud sambusa, a type of pea somasa. Each meal is served with the local bread, non, which is unleavened. You'll surely also enjoy the plov, rice dish served with cauldron-cooked meat and vegetables, and chachlyks, a type of lamb or beef skewers. Tajiks also love different kinds of soups, cheese and yoghurt. Among drinks served is the green tea "tchaï", which is drunk almost everywhere and at any hour. You wont miss the kumiss, a drink made from fermented mare milk, which is slightly alcoholic and very sour. The best alcohol is the vodka.
