Beshbarmak - Kazakh national dish (as far as I know - it is rather a Russian version of the name of the dishes). Translated literally - "Besh" in Kazakh - five, "Barmak" - the finger / fingers. Kazakh and other nomadic tribes did not use while eating utensils, and hands took the meat - hence the name :-)
The dish is made of lamb, beef and horse meat. Because, horse meat is not all available beshbarmak can be prepared from availability considerations, lamb and beef, or from one type of meat.
I wish you all an enjoyable meal!
Well, to use cutlery at home, of course, is not forbidden ... quite the contrary! :))))
