Mongolian name of food

Mongolians call meat food Ulan-id, that is, red food. Mongolian herders eat beef and mutton, camel meat and horse meat the most, followed by a small amount of chicken and goose meat, but not much fish. Mongols who believe in Lamaism don't eat fish. They believe that fish is an inviolable god and must not be harmed by other creatures.

Some boneless meat, such as the back and sternum of whole sheep, is called Habusga, the frozen storage of congested intestines and heart and lungs in cattle and sheep stomachs is called Zhaidas, fresh meat is called Shule, and killing a small number of animals is called Zhuonaidexi.
