      There is also the dish “tartare”, which I would be really surprised if they didn’t share some entomology with the region/people and the claims involved.

        Iirc, it’s named after the concept of mongols putting a piece of tough meat under their saddles and riding on it all day to tenderize it. That’s actually where the name for tartar sauce comes from, because it was an accompaniment to the dish.
