Kyrgyzstan cuisine

In Kyrgyz culture many dishes used to have special, ritual importance, and be connected with particular calendar holidays. One of the most essential features of Kyrgyz cuisine is that dishes should preserve their taste and appearance. Also, Kyrgyz dishes tend to have a plain taste; sauces and spices are used in only small batches. Sauces are intended only to bring out the taste of the dish not to change it.
