Food in the Mongol Empire

Let it never be said that the Mongols didn't have a broad diet. After all, they claim to have had both white food AND red food! This activity looks at their diet, provides students with an activity involving spotting the spelling mistakes and editing these words, then designing a banquet menu for a Mongol feast. Please remind students that eating people is a sign of poor hospitality and table manners. This should only happen in extreme circumstances and MUST be a non-Mongol mercenary. Apart from this proviso students must select entrée, main course, dessert and drinks (OK - so that's only koumiss - but it can be served chilled or warm!) This activity is designed for students of the NSW History K-10 Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum.
