This topic has caused a great response among Kazakhstanis. Many noted that after a long time away from home, it is beshbarmak and traditional cuisine that becomes something like a "taste of home."
"I lived in England for a month. When I arrived, I told my mother: cook beshbarmak and more meat!" one of the users shared.
Another commentator said that they even formed a tradition.
"It has become a tradition for us - the first thing we do upon returning is cook beshbarmak. You don't have to unpack your suitcases, but put the meat in the cauldron right away!" he noted.
A resident of Australia told how she returned home from Sydney for Nauryz.
"Everything is wonderful: the ocean, the food, the fruit... But the smell of beshbarmak, baursaks and kozhe upon returning home is unforgettable!" she wrote.
The Kazakhstanis added that beshbarmak is not just food, but a symbol of returning to home comfort.
"There are 124 nationalities living in Kazakhstan, and they all love beshbarmak," "I am Russian, I live in Samara, but I always cook beshbarmak for holidays - in memory of my parents from Kazakhstan," "The head doctor of the hospital in Omsk, where my mother works, is Russian, but originally from Kazakhstan. For every holiday he allocates money for beshbarmak, especially loves karyn," the commentators shared.
Many even admit to being "addicted" to this dish.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy addicted," one of the users joked.
There were some funny stories, too.
"No matter how you look at it, Kazakh meat is the most delicious. Apparently, it's already embedded in our genetic code," "My friend, when she returned from vacation, didn't even change her clothes. She left her suitcases by the door, went into the freezer, and immediately put the meat on to cook!" the commentators shared.
