What it is
A distinctive traditional Central Asian sausage made from horse meat, often including significant chunks of horse fat. It is typically cured, then boiled or smoked, and served thinly sliced as a cold appetizer (zakuska) or as part of a meat platter. Naturally very high in fat and protein, with minimal carbohydrates.
Key ingredients
Horse meat, horse fat, salt, black pepper, garlic, natural casing.
Optional tweaks
No modifications are typically needed as Kazy is inherently keto. Ensure no sugary glazes are applied if served warm or processed, and check for any unexpected fillers.
Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Казы, пожалуйста, подтвердите, что без сладкой глазури и посторонних наполнителей.
For the Kazy, please confirm there are no sugary glazes or unexpected fillers.
Watch out for
Very low risk; only if artificially processed with non-keto fillers or sugars, which is uncommon for traditional Kazy.
