In Kazakhstan, dietary taboos vary greatly among different ethnic groups. As Muslims, Kazakhs and Uzbeks usually avoid eating pork, dead things, animal blood and things that have not been slaughtered in the name of God. They also don't eat dog meat, donkey meat, snail meat and whole fish. Besides, they generally don't drink.

Russians usually don't eat sea cucumbers, jellyfish, squid and fungus. Many people still don't eat shrimp eggs. However, they can't help drinking or fasting pork. They mainly eat pasta on weekdays, and they like bread best.

The fasting of Tatars is similar to that of Kazakhs. They mainly don't eat pork, donkey meat and snail meat.

When hosting a banquet to entertain guests, Kazakhs generally pay attention to serving mutton. Before killing the sheep, they often show it to the guests. In their eyes, sheep's head is the treasure of the table. Because of this, when entertaining guests, they will be happy to put the sheep's head on the banquet. They believe that only by entertaining guests with sheep's heads can we express our sincerity to our guests. After eating the sheep's head, they will eat mutton from other parts.

According to the national tradition of Kazak, milk, goat's milk, horse's milk, yogurt and milk tea are all excellent drinks, which can be used to entertain guests. When attending a Kazakh banquet, you'd better remember to take some mutton from your plate first and let the hostess taste it. In the eyes of Kazakhs, this move means that guests respect and thank their hosts. Sometimes, guests have to cut off the ear of a sheep and give it to the youngest man present. This move is intended to tell him to honor his parents.
