| - Nepal is situated in the South Asia and its natural space is full of mountains and agricultural fields. The subtropical climate lead to the intense agriculture: rice, Lentil, corn, Wheat, jute and potatoes are the most frequent plantations. In the Middle Ages, the Nepal state was influenced by the Indian and the Chinese civilizations, but also Tibetan civilization, which all lead to the cuisine of today: rice meals, Tibetan aliments and spices and Indian food are felt within the Nepalese cooking. In the valley of Kathmandu diverse cultures were unified during centuries. The Nepal cuisine tends to be simple, but flavored with special spices and seeds: garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, chilies, onions, cilantro, scallions, mustard oil, clarified butter (ghee), and sometimes yak butter. The main dishes are the dal (Lentil soup or Lentil sauce, made of black, red and yellow Nepalese lentils), eaten with rice, the sag (green vegetables – spinach), with mustard and rice, masu (buffalo and Pork meat with different curry spices), served with rice, the steamed rice as bhat and the tarkai (vegetables in curry and broth). The Nepalese people drink local liquor, thon (a milk white beer made from rice) and tongba (drank with a bamboo straw).
