FRIED COFFEE

 There’s a certain aura of the exotic and romance the word Mongolia induces for me.  It’s one of the places I long to visit and experience.  That desire was heightened by an article I ran across written by Tim Wu detailing his trip to the home of Genghis Khaan.   It’s a great read and adds another facet to milk consumption that I find interesting.  (see Got Milk?)  Since I don’t see a trip across the globe for a glass of milk in my immediate future I’ll have to settle for Mr. Wu’s  engaging depiction of life in the central Far East.

I believe you’ll find this article worth the read.  Link to it here.   Slate’s  Well Traveled 2008,  is a great resource for those of us who are roaming challenged but have wander-lust flowing in our veins.

“All this is surely survivable. It is the mutton, the unending mutton, that gets to you. After just a week, I felt like the Troll in The Hobbit who complains, “Mutton yesterday, mutton today, and blimey, if it don’t look like mutton again tomorrer.”
