Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories
Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoWeird definition then. I just called it that geometrically on my own.
Not sure about any native bread that got erased, I was just speculating. I was there in presence and saw no bread, only imported preserves of like spanish and turkish breads.
I also saw regular cultural erasure, or what seemed like it anyway, of the general local culture that used to be in that region.
For all I know it could equally be the fault of the climate or something else.

I’m not familiar with the culture of those folks, but to my understanding nomadic culture is not really fit for modern urban living. So one can still have local dances and such, but generally life is gonna be the same as in European parts of Russia (or perhaps like in China, in the case of Mongolia). That’s why, for example, Kazakh apartments are pretty much indistinguishable from Russian ones, since both countries were urbanized together during the twentieth century. But different from Europe proper, which built towns since the Middle Ages.
As for bread, since they only got it somewhat recently, I’d expect they just borrowed Russian varieties. Plus the region seems to have influence from Central Asian and Chinese cuisine.
