Sharin himself was not very talkative, but reacted with astonishment and admiration after every bite of the unusual food.
«Mmm... Wow! This is very lean meat,» he noted after tasting the raw foal.
The Yakut people who treated the Indian noted that few foreigners like raw liver and even the locals often don«t eat it. Sharin noted that in India they also eat liver, but boiled.
At the end of the video, Sharin played the famous Indian-themed song «Panjabi MC» on the guitar. Commenters praised the foreigner, but some users suggested showing him how the Yakut people butcher cows.
Recently, Yakutia was visited by Dutch blogger FrankVD, who also tried the national cuisine, but did not like the raw liver; the foreigner even fought off bouts of nausea. Besides food, Frank took a plunge into an ice hole at a temperature of -47°C (-53°F).
