The Kitchen Ger
The culinary traditions of Chinggis Khaan's court — borts, airag, and the sacred white-food culture of the 13th century.
Feast of the Khaan
Enter the kitchen that fed an empire. The Kitchen Ger reconstructs the 13th-century culinary traditions of the Mongol court — from preserved meats and fermented mare's milk to the elaborate banquets held for visiting ambassadors.

— Chinggis Khaan
