Kyrgyzstan - expedition to the mountains - roadside stand




We passed many roadside stands by local people selling fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. We stopped at this stand to buy some stuff. The white liquid in the bottles is fermented horse milk - a traditional Kyrgyz alcoholic drink. The whitish balls are a type of cheese or hard butter made from horse milk. The yellow liquid is a type of greasy liquid butter made from sheep milk.
