countryside food

we've returned from our first ever trip to the much revered Mongolian countryside and it was absolutely beautiful and filled with fun and blessings.

and we of course ate all of the beloved Mongolian countryside food-


boiled goat insides- they loved this more than you could possibly imagine


roasted goat meat on a stick

tsuivan- potatoes, carrots, onions and flour noodles


milk tea!

Hol bought popcorn and brought it with us, so we made big buckets of it and they devoured it:-)

Now, I have not suddenly become a large fan of boiled goat stomach, but I do generally really like Mongolian food. And being able to drink milk tea made with pails of fresh milk, eat bowls of homemade yogurt and have soup with goat meat was a delicious treat.

which just proves the myth that everything food wise really is better in the countryside.
