Fw: [Sca-cooks] Mongol Feast Questions

[Phlip]

As I mentioned, I asked Paul Buell about Mongolian vegetarian dishes, and
camel dishes.

We discussed it for a while late last night, and he said that Mongols just
didn't eat many vegetables or grains- they didn't have them, unless they
ransacked some town or another- and even then, they didn't eat much.

It wasn't until late into their period that wines were drunk- kumiss was the
preferred beverage.

As far as camel, he's unaware of any recipes in the areas he's been
studying, but he will ask around. In the meantime, I think I'll ask Gene
Anderson- he has other areas of interest, and might have some ideas.
