A morning Marshrutka took us all back to Bishkek for a lazy afternoon. For the evening I was invited to a meal at a friends flat to sample a local delicacy, 5 Fingers (or Beshbarmak) and vodka. 5 fingers gets its name as it is traditionally eaten with the fingers. It is made from meat with a potato and noodle base. The meat I ate here was horse. This was the first time I had eaten horse and it was very nice, very tender a quite delicate. The vodka however was not so tender and delicate and we all ended up rather drunk.
