Food and drink

How often do you eat traditional Kazakh dishes? Do you know which traditional Kazakh foods are healthy?

People from all over the world have settled in Kazakhstan, so the food is very diverse. There are many dishes from Ukraine, Turkey, Russia, and other countries. Let's take a look at some traditional Kazakh dishes.

One of them is Kuyrdak, a traditional dish made from sheep's meat, liver, and other parts of sheep. The main ingredients are mutton, onion, and potato. The name "Kuyrdak" comes from the Kazakh word that means "fried," as all the ingredients are cooked together. Kuyrdak is often served at special occasions and family gatherings. In Kazakh culture, it is a symbol of hospitality and respect. According to tradition, the elderly members of the family are served first. This tradition also applies to guests who come from far away.

Another traditional Kazakh food is baursak, which are deep-fried doughnuts. Baursaks are delicious and are one of children's favourite treats. They are always served on special occasions.

Although plov is not a traditional Kazakh dish, it is very popular in Kazakhstan. The main ingredients are meat, rice, onion, and carrot. It is delicious and has a rich flavor.

Kymyz and shubat are traditional Kazakh drinks made from mare's and camel's milk. These drinks are not only tasty but also healthy.

Tea is served with milk and is offered to guests during meals. A Kazakh dastarkhan (laid table) is very rich, as this is a way to show hospitality and respect to guests.

1 Какое ваше любимое традиционное блюдо? Что может быть особенного в казахской еде?

Ответ:

My favourite traditional dish is probably baursaks. They are like sweet, fluffy doughnuts, and my grandma makes the best ones! What's special about Kazakh food, based on the text, is that it's a big symbol of hospitality and respect. For example, with a dish like Kuyrdak, the oldest family members and guests from far away are served first. That's a really cool tradition.

Перевод:

Мое любимое традиционное блюдо — это, наверное, баурсаки. Они похожи на сладкие, пышные пончики, и моя бабушка готовит их лучше всех! Что касается особенностей казахской еды, то, судя по тексту, она является большим символом гостеприимства и уважения. Например, когда подают такое блюдо, как куырдак, первыми обслуживают самых старших членов семьи и гостей, приехавших издалека. Это очень классная традиция.

2 Как вы думаете, повлияли ли на казахскую кухню другие страны или культуры? Почему?

Ответ:

Yes, I definitely think Kazakh food is influenced by other cultures. The text says that people from many countries like Ukraine, Turkey, and Russia have settled in Kazakhstan, making the food very diverse. It even gives an example of plov, which is very popular in Kazakhstan but is not a traditional Kazakh dish.

Перевод:

Да, я определенно думаю, что на казахскую кухню повлияли другие культуры. В тексте говорится, что в Казахстане поселилось много людей из разных стран, таких как Украина, Турция и Россия, что сделало еду очень разнообразной. В нем даже приводится пример плова, который очень популярен в Казахстане, но не является традиционным казахским блюдом.
