Please believe us when we say we didn't plan it this way, but we seem to have no pictures of the food but lots of the drink. Now what will that say about us to our readers? We hope you won't get the wrong impression, as we really do like our food. We'll just have to describe it to you while showing you pictures of our drinks. Perhaps it all has to do with wanting to keep our fur clean as food can be a bit messy and food on camera lenses is definitely not good.
Anyway here we are about to try to local hooch. We think it was rakshi. Whatever it was it was powerful stuff ... just look at the effect it had on us ...
We thought this potent brew should have a health warning attached. Our small sip was more than enough, but we didn't want to be rude and leave it all, so, as you can see, we discreetly spilt a quantity on the tablecloth, making it look like an accident!
We then decided that drinking on an empty stomach was not a good idea, so we turned our attention to the food and tucked into some delicious dishes. It was one of those meals where you get given a spoonful of a huge number of dishes so you can experience the breadth of the cuisine. The bits of the menu we remember (and it's a bit like the Generation Game here) included pop corn, bean soup, black lentils, chicken, wild boar, spinach, rice, dumplings and a yoghurty pudding.
To wash it down we stuck to a firm favourite, a bottle of beer.
We opted for another macho sounding beer, Everest beer (apologies to all female sumiteers!) as we were due to fly out to the Everest region the next day. It certainly made us feel really excited about the next stage of our trip.
Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
