As the poster above says, they usually eat lamb (mutton) which from my experience is best avoided.

I'm in Ulaanbaatar at the moment, and since my last visit (September 06) a very funny thing has happened. Someone has opened a Mongolian Barbecue restaurant. This has caused much discussion among the local population, as they can't understand what's Mongolian about it.

So true .... (although lamb doesn't bother me).
