 Gastronomy

Chilli is everywhere: in salad, or used as a condiment; it can even be the main ingredient, as in hemadatsi, for example, the national dish. Don't worry - the rice that accompanies almost all the meals will help you extinguish the firey chilli! Another popular component of Bhutanese food is yak meat and pork, which is often cooked in a sauce. The meat will have been dried beforehand or only the fat will be served.
Tea is the national drink. As is typical in the Himalayas, salt and butter are added to it. It can also be prepared in the Indian fashion, with a lot of sugar, and milk.
