Tibetan Food

The food in agricultural and pastoral areas each has its own characteristics. In addition to tsampa and flour, the diet in pastoral areas can be simply divided into red food and white food. Red refers to meat, white refers to milk. In summer, white food is the main food, and in winter, red food is the main food. Famous snacks in pastoral areas include hand-caught mutton, grilled mutton intestines and air-dried meat. Tibetan style dining is very sophisticated. The host and guest each sat on their own thick mats, with a hidden table in front of them eating separately.

Tibetan dishes include dried meat, milk residue cake, ginseng fruit cake, fried beef, spicy tripe, enema, lung filling, stewed mutton, stewed sheep head, etc. Staple foods include butter tsampa, milk dregs buns, Tibetan buns, Tibetan dumplings, noodles, fried noodles, etc. The taste of Tibetan food is light and peaceful. Many dishes do not use any spicy seasonings except salt, onions and garlic, which reflects the back-to-basics lifestyle of the dining culture.
