In Mongolia, the food eaten everyday has close ties to its roots within Mongolian culture. This is because Mongolia has long been a country made up of nomadic people. Nomadic means that depending on the season or availability of natural resources, people will move from place to place to live in areas that are better for raising their animals that they bring with them.
Mongolian food is always handmade and very rooted in the nomadic culture that Mongolia has had for centuries. Since there are not many vegetables that grow here, traditional foods are almost all made with dairy and meat, with the occasional potato or carrot added. It is hard to find outside of Mongolia, but I highly recommend everyone try it!
I have tried many foods in Mongolia, including buuz, pirozhki, tsuivan, huushur, sea buckthorn, wild berries, and salad. In the rest of the article, I will tell you more about some of these foods. I really enjoy pirozhki because it is very soft and has many different types of filling. Pirozhki is like a bread bun stuffed with different types of fillings, and there are many different types. My preferred filling is either buckwheat and chicken or buckwheat and mushrooms. However, traditional pirozhki are made from just ground beef.
