You don't really chew on chhurpi, but suck and soak it in spittle until layers soften, and sort of gnaw off ever so thin layers. It is a high fat, high protein snack and keeps your throat wet, in the high altitudes, where it is very dry. No instant gratification. Read the immense hardships endured by the Holy Gyalwa Nyugu as he accompanied the very holy Dodrupchen across the desolate mountains of Gangchen, The Words of My Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche. Worth getting a feel for the life lived and endured at the really high altitudes.

Yes El druida from columbia, you said it right. that's vegetable was tree tomato. We called it shindong bendha in sikkim. I guess people of Haa also called it by similar name. coz we are neighbours and share almost similar language and culture. BTW El druida, Columbia or area around Andes in South America is said to be home of tomatoes. I heard that tomatoes grows there in the wild. is it true? M just curious. I read that it was European like Portuguese and spainish who brought it from there and spread to outside world.

I think Bhutan is not a perfect place to visit: Due to following reason1. First reason, Visa is extremely expensive. 2. There are no varieties of food to try. They put cheese in everything. 3. There are only few place to visit which includes monasteries4. Health facilities is horrible. GO to Nepal. same scenes same monastries, foods are great and visa is very cheap.

You can really tell these are hearty people by the food they eat, and it's interesting to see some of the similarities between it and norther western cultures, especially the amount of dairy products and meats. The chilies and buckwheat I'm sure are great for keeping someone warm and satiated too. Oh, and that butter tea. I can hardly wait for winter now. ;D

Wow I didn't thing that tree tomatoes (tamarillos) were not a common thing. I live in New Zealand and I love this fruit. Strawberries, passionfruit and tamarillos are my favourite things to eat. I know that I should love kiwifruit but let's face it we stole that from the Chinese when they came to NZ to mine.

From what I've heard, that dried _cheese on a string_ is really more of a reduced and dried fermented milk or butter milk than what westerners would typically think of as a cheese. Lightweight and energy dense, it is a traditionally travel food, sort of like what we might think of as the use for trail mix.

All the food and travel looks great But all those dogs and puppies I would want to take them all home with me. Thank you for taking us on your trip through this beautiful country. This place looks like where I live in Washington State. Mountains, rivers and lakes.
