Food for local Tibetans is quite different from Chinese food. The basic Tibetan meal is tsampa, a kind of dough made with roasted barley flour and yak butter with water, teror beer.
Tibetans live on beef,mutton and milk products.As everybody knows,beef and mutton contain high heat energy,which is helpful for people living in the area of high attitude to withstand coldness. Yak Butter,refined from the milk of cattles and goats,is the daily food of Tibetans.The prevalent milk products are yoghourt and milk sediment.
Firstly put a little of Rtsam-pa,cheese power and yak butter into a tea bowl, then pour tea .Eat the Rtsam-pa after drinking up. With black tea as its original juice,sweet tea contains other components such as milk and sugar, making it more sweet and nutritious. Besides of the local Tibetan food, the western food and Chinese Sichuan cuisine are more popular than our imagination. |
