Mongolia has a rich food culture influenced by its nomadic lifestyle and traditions. Historically, Mongolian cuisine primarily consisted of meat and dairy products due to the reliance on livestock for sustenance. This tradition is still evident in the popular dishes served today, such as Buuz (steamed dumplings filled with meat), Khuushuur (deep-fried meat pies), and Tsuivan (stir-fried noodles with meat and vegetables).
Complete the sentences using the correct dining phrases from the vocabulary section.  


Another cultural aspect of dining in Mongolia is the tradition of offering and receiving dairy products as a sign of hospitality. Mongolians take great pride in their dairy products, including Aaruul (dried cheese curds) and Suutei Tsai (Mongolian milk tea). These items are often served to guests as a gesture of welcome and respect.
1. Би ________ хоол захиалах уу?


In Mongolian culture, it is customary to share food with others at the table. This practice promotes a sense of community and camaraderie. It is common for dishes to be placed in the center of the table, allowing everyone to help themselves. Mongolians also value the act of toasting, known as "Arvai Khuu," where individuals raise their cups and offer well wishes to each other before taking a sip.
