That was a fascinating experience. It was a few years ago that I was travelling to Mongolia, so they may have improved the catering service since then!

Very interesting piece, Rashmee, and many thanks for the inclusion of my Mongolia-set books. For anyone interested in the books, they're available in new re-edited editions under my more usual writing name of Alex Walters. You can find the first in the series at https://mybook.to/TheShadowWalker. Thanks again for including them.

Thanks for reading, and more to the point, thanks for writing the Mongolia series. The things one learns from novels! I found it fascinating (and several readers in different parts of the world have said so as well) to learn that the in-flight meal on MIAT, Mongolia's national airline, consists “entirely of a selection of meats – cured, roast, perhaps boiled – accompanied by an apparently unending supply of miniature Mongolian vodkas"!!
