Kazy

Cultural Context

Kazy is a traditional Kazakh sausage made primarily from horse meat, often enjoyed during celebrations and special occasions. This dish reflects the nomadic heritage of the Kazakh people, who relied on horses for sustenance and transport. Today, Kazy is celebrated not only in Kazakhstan but also in neighboring Central Asian countries, where variations may include different spices or meat combinations.
