Kirgiz people who believe in * * * don't eat the meat of pigs and dead livestock. Horse meat and horse intestines are the best food in winter.

Their diet is mainly meat products and dairy products, and they also like to eat cabbage, onions and potatoes. The daily drinks are goat's milk and yogurt. I also like to drink milk tea with salt and boil it. Nowadays, wealthy herdsmen drink milk and goat milk, eat cows, sheep, horses and camels, and also eat rice and pasta. When making pasta, there is no chopping board, but a cloth made of leather. They also store the prepared ghee in the processed stomachs of cattle and sheep after slaughter. Bowls, spoons and other tableware are all made of wood.

The wedding of Kirgiz youth was attended by the imam, and there was an interesting episode related to diet. The imam divided the naan into two halves, dipped it in salt water and gave it to two couples, meaning that they would share joys and sorrows and never part.

Kirgiz people are very hospitable and polite. There is a famous saying that "friendship and enthusiasm are the gold of Kirgiz people". Whenever guests visit, whether they know each other or not, they are warmly treated, and the best dishes at home are taken out for guests to eat. Sheep head meat is the most respectful. Invite guests to eat mutton, please eat sheep tail oil first, and then please eat Jia's flesh and blood and sheep head meat. Guests should also give some rewards to the women and children of the host family.

The Kirgiz people's daily diet also includes Nao, fried dumpling, Kuyimake (Younang), Baoershak (fried noodles), Quyi Baoershak (fried fruit), pancakes, oil cakes, milk-covered noodles, fried lumps, Samusha (roasted buns), Ququer (jiaozi) and Younang.

With the improvement of people's living standards and living together with people of all ethnic groups, the diet structure of Kirgiz people has also undergone great changes. Vegetables began to enter the families of farmers and herdsmen, and the variety of meals became more and more colorful.

There are similarities and differences between the dietary taboos of Kirgiz and those of other ethnic groups in Xinjiang. After washing your hands before meals, don't throw the remaining water about, but dry it with Puckilo. The host allows the guests to eat and drink. Male guests are not allowed to take food directly from the hostess to show the difference between men and women. Guests should finish all the food in the bowl and avoid dumping leftovers on the ground. Don't open the kitchen curtains to peep when eating, and exit with your back to the door after eating.
