Day 80: Beshbarmak
During dinner, I heard overheard this real-life conversation:
"Hey, you've got horse between your teeth."
"Oh, you're right. I guess I do."
A delicacy and centerpiece of Kazakh cuisine, the dish is made with wide noodles and horse meat. It might sound a little creepy to be chomping on Mr. Ed, but I have to say that I found the dish pretty tasty (even if the meat was a bit tough). Some of the ladies at the table next to us even bagged up extra pieces of meat to take home for later.
