2. In Mongolia there are certain eating customs, like almost everywhere else. The
first thing you should know when going there is that they are mostly nomads, so
they don’t stay in one place, which makes them eat the animals they raise.
Vegetables aren’t common, because they are used to feed the animals.
There are certain things you should
and shouldn’t do, such as: you should
drink only with your right hand, you
should always eat something from
the table -even if you don’t like it-
and you should always wait until
everyone else is finished before
leaving. You may also want to know
that meals are usually interrupted
to drink a sip of vodka in honour of
the sky gods and the four cardinal
directions.
