When drinking tea, I usually mix it with some dried fruits, desserts, etc. The Tajik people believe in Islam, and their meat is mainly sheep, cattle, and camels. They abstain from eating animals such as pigs, horses, donkeys, dogs, bears, etc., and poultry eat chickens, ducks, geese, etc. They abstain from eating crows and raptors, and they also abstain from eating the blood of all animals. All edible animals must pray during slaughter. Animals that die without slaughter are generally not eaten by adult men, but by women and children.
