KOOMIS, FERMENTED HORSE MILK FROM KAZAKHSTAN

I am including this as a curiosity. Even most Kazakhs don't drink this very much any more, little wonder. It has to be the most awful alcoholic beverage on the face of the Earth. Still, if you're a glutton for punishment, desperate for a totally new experience or looking for a new way to prove your machismo, then give it a try. It is also found in Mongolia.
