Beshbarmak

Besh barmak (from _ky. беш, 'five', _kk. бес, 'five', and Kazakh and Kyrgyz бармақ, 'finger')is a popular dish in Kazakhstan and also eaten in Kyrgyzstan. It is known in Xinjiang as well, where it is commonly called "Narin". In Turkish, it is called beş parmak.

The term "Besh barmak" means "five fingers", because the dish is eaten with one's hands. Besh barmak consists of boiled horse or mutton meat with small pieces of pastry boiled in broth and sprinkled with parsley and coriander. The meat is usually diced with knives and often mixed with boiled noodles. ‘Amen’ is always said at the end of the meal to give thanks to God.
