Dairy is so common for Mongolians because you can milk cows, goats or camels, and these are all animals that many nomadic herding families have. Lastly, many Mongolians believe it is very important to eat plenty of meat and dairy because they think that animal products keep you warmer in the winter time. Mongolia is a very cold country, so it is important to take steps that prevent you from freezing. I also believe that when my stomach is full of good food, I feel less cold. What do you think?
