Central Asia is defined as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Mongolia is in East Asia. Anyway, I don’t know much about Mongolia and can’t say anything about its food, except that they were historically also nomadic, so I wouldn’t expect much agricultural cuisine. Wikipedia seems to agree, saying “Mongolian cuisine predominantly consists of dairy products, meat, and animal fats”. Same appears to be true for Tuvans, Buryats, and Altai people, if you’re hinting at those. If you have some particular traditional bread in mind, please share.

Weird 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.
