I just went back and re-read this string.  I wonder if it (the modern
Mongol cook book) might be helpful in interpreting some of the recipes
from "A Soup for the Qan"?  Lord Boroghul, what do you think?

<tt>I think it may be the latter. I've been trying to find period Mongolian
recipes for a long time now.  I've got quite a few dishes squirreled
away in various corners in my tiny room The only dish I have mention of
in a period text is the buttered tea. Even the Khorkhog, one of my favorite
things to make at camping events, is only listed in my documentation as
a traditional Mongolian festival dish, but provides no dates. Since the
technique is so simple, I make a leap of faith and assume it was done in
period.</tt>
