 The
Kazak people have a distinctive taste in food.
One of their favorite summer beverages is called
Kumis. Kumis is fresh horse milk mixed regularly
until it ferments, becoming sour horse milk
wine. They also enjoy nan (baked cake "made
of flour"), rice cooked with minced mutton,
baursak (dough fried in sheep's fat), and flour
sheets cooked with mutton and very few vegetables.
Traditionally, the Kazaks are a nomadic people
who earn their living by raising animals.
The Kazaks are known for their hand-made embroideries
of flower and animal horn patterns made
with woolen threads sewn symmetrically on black,
red and purple velvet. Some women have opened
an embroidery factory and now market their products.
The Kazak herdsmen wear the embroideries. Women
enjoy wearing brightly colored dresses, especially
red and other embroidered clothes.
