Airag gosto na estepe da Mongólia
Publicado em April 12, 2012 by Lydia Schrandt
País: Mongólia 
A Experiência
O cavalo sempre foi o animal mais importante para o povo da Mongólia, dos dias em que Genghis Khan levaram seus guerreiros a cavalo em uma missão de conquista para as famílias nômades de hoje viajam através do estepe rolamento verde. Além de proporcionar um meio de transporte, os cavalos são uma fonte primária de alimentos. Enquanto as famílias ocasionalmente comer carne de cavalo, o leite do cavalo mongol é praticamente um grupo de alimentos todas as suas próprias.
Airag, the traditional beverage of Mongolia, is made by fermenting the milk of mares in an open leather sack or plastic container. After the milk has been left out, it gradually transforms from a basic yogurt-like beverage to an acidic and very sour beverage with an alcohol content comparable to wine. The fat and protein content of airag make it the perfect beverage for nomads living in a harsh climate where average winter temperatures dip well below freezing.
Mongolians are known for their warm hospitality, and as soon as you step into the white circular ger, or traditional Mongolian tent, you'll probably be offered a cup of airag in welcome. Despite the language and cultural barriers between a westerner and a Mongolian nomad, you quickly build a sense of camaraderie while sipping the sour liquid while sitting around the floor of the ger. Depending on the season, visitors in a nomad's home may get to sample the variety of snacks also made from the same mare's milk, including cheese and fried milk curds.
Airag é tempo do festival particularmente popular vir, especialmente durante o festival Nadaam verão. Downing uma xícara de airag quando é apresentada a você não só vai impressionar os hosts da Mongólia, mas vai garantir que você se derramou um outro copo. Se durante um festival ou no estepe, é comum para passar a noite passar em torno de uma xícara de airag e trocar histórias.

Quando irpara Airag Mongólia
The best time of year to taste traditional fermented mare's milk in Mongolia is during the summer months from May to September when the weather is warm and mild. The Mongolian summer festival takes place in early July, and if you find yourself in the capital city or one of the smaller provincial capitals, the airag is sure to be flowing.
While you can visit the Mongolian steppe in the winter (and winter tourism is on the rise), temperatures are extremely cold and tour operators are much more limited than during the peak summer season.

Odds n 'Ends
When you're invited into a Mongolian home and offered airag (or any other beverage), it is considered rude to turn it down. If you don't want to drink it, either touch your lips to the cup or dip your finger in the beverage and flick it toward the ceiling as an offering to the sky, then pass the cup back to the person who passed it to you. Should you down the contents in one swig, you'll quickly earn respect and a second helping, so be warned.
Never hold a cup or glass by the rim. Instead, hold it by the base in the palm of your hands. If you accidentally spill airag, milk, or another beverage, dip your finger in it and press it to your forehead.
When you enter a ger, avoid stepping on the threshold. Move around the ger in a clockwise direction. Women should avoid sitting with their legs crossed when inside a traditional ger.
