Re Mongolian food, does anyone have information on Mongolian Barbecue cuisine that is gaining popularity in the US? -- Logotu 18:11, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Their is a restaraunt where I live, and everyone has been talking about it but Ican't find it. Falphin 02:29, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
  • "Mongolian Barbecue" is a gimmick. Mongolians traditionally almost exclusively boil their meat.--Pharos 2 July 2005 04:50 (UTC)
    • Well, it's good at any rate. I'd wondered just how accurate the name was, though.  :-) -- Nik42 23:25, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Funerals/ Death practices

Any info on Funerals or practices involving death?

[edit] HIV/AIDS

Surely it can't be that low!? are there any links to support that position? 82.46.144.194 17:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, it is a very isolated country, with a small population spread out over a large area. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if that number wasn't several years old.--Pharos 17:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
    • See this page and here. Apparently there have been very few reported cases but the UN thinks there are probably <500 and at most <1000 cases of HIV.--Pharos 17:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit job

I ran through the article, and I think it looks all right now, except for two places. 1. The yak/cow butter paragraph is unclear as to whether it was yak or cow butter that was used in the schools, etc; I took out 'despite its importance' in re the yak butter, but it seems possible it should go back in as 'despite its historical importance.' 2. The original sentence about the vegetables said they are a 'a main new part of the diet', I guessed that it was supposed to be 'mainly a new part' but it may have been intended to be 'a new main part'. I'll have to leave those for people who actually know something about Mongolia. Candle-ends 00:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

The article about Mongolia (which links here) states that only half the population is Buddhist, while this one says 90 percent. Any idea how this discrepancy came about, and which is correct?
