Mongolian people's diet is well organized and the diet is divided into two seasons, summer and winter. Summer is from April to October and the main food is dairy products. During this period, meat is eaten relatively less. The main reason for this is that meat is needed in the winter to add fat and resist the cold. After months of accumulation, in summer it needs to be digested and absorbed with dairy products, which is very good for health. Mongolian children eat dairy products from childhood, but it is forbidden to eat meat in excess, otherwise it is not good for health. Therefore, in ancient times, few Mongolians had liver, gallbladder and gastrointestinal diseases. Mongolians knew how to eat scientifically and how to take care of themselves from a very early age. There is a proverb in Mongolia: breakfast should be eaten alone, lunch should be shared with friends, and dinner should be given to the enemy. Its meaning is similar to China's "eat enough for breakfast, eat well for lunch, and eat less for dinner". The unique dietary culture has created the Mongolian people's strong physique. In recent years, with the change of society, the Mongolian diet structure, eating utensils and eating pattern have been changed by the western influence. The pastoral areas, which are y influenced by the traditional food culture, still preserve some old food culture, but probably due to the influence of the Soviet Union and the West, Mongolian food and western food are now the new food pattern. In the cities, on the other hand, people's eating patterns are completely westernized. In Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, there are many big hotels and small restaurants, whose dining environment, eating utensils and serving procedures are completely based on European standards. The dining environment is elaborate and the tableware is all knives, forks and plates. Although the small restaurant has milk tea, doing the Mongolian food, but the structure of the Mongolian food, patterns and tableware and Western food is no different.
