Beshbarmak


Beshbarmak means five fingers, and it's a Kyrgyz dish (traditionally eaten with five fingers, hence the name). It comes in many forms, depending on where you eat it. At this restaurant, it came in a bowl with noodles, soup, beef pieces...and five huge pieces of congealed fat. (Yes, all that yellow is fat.)

  2. I tried...but I just wasn't up to all that fat! It's all about the form - croissants are great: bring on the butter! But congealed fat just doesn't do it for me.
