My daughter was in Mongolia at one time. She took a 2-1/2 hour car ride, followed by 5 hours on a horse with a *wooden* saddle to get to a ger (fortunately she is an experienced equestrian) and stay with the family for several days. The day she arrived, they killed a lamb, boiled it and gave her the innards in honor of her guest status. She refers to it as a unique experience.

LOL! Nasty!
The neighbors who live in a yurt and keep yaks near here would certainly not like what's for dinner in the old country. LOL! I should say "lived in a yurt," as their house appears to be built now (after several years in a yurt).
Yaks appear to do well up here, BTW, although they do require supplemental feed (extremely poor soil and extremely cold weather).
