fermented mare's milk product *s*? You mean there is more than just 
kumiss made this way? More details, please. And how do these other 
items vary from just kumiss? Are they any better or worse tasting, than 
kumiss? Or is actual kumiss actually better than it sounds? I still 
think it indicates how desperate the Mongols were, but I'm willing to 
admit tastes vary.
