Yak meat

Tibetan yak meat is of course the most famous, and raw meat sauce made from yak meat is one of the most famous delicacies unforgettable ones that I have ever eaten. There is a Tibetan proverb: Without yaks, there would be no Tibetans. Where there are Tibetans, there are yaks. If you come to Tibet and you have not eaten Tibetan yak meat, you cannot say that you have been to Tibet. The yak has always been called the "ship of the plateau", and all yaks on the plateau feed on grass. The editor once heard a tour guide talking about itwhile traveling with a group in the Tibetan regions. The yaks on the plateau eat delicacies and game: they eat Cordyceps sinensis, drink Nongfu Spring, and take Liuwei Dihuang pills, which truly and vividly reflect the growth environment of yaks. Therefore, the quality of yak meat can be considered the best among beef.

Ghee

Ghee is extracted from cow's milk and goat's milk. First heat the milk, pour it into a wooden barrel and stir it back and forth until the oil and water can be separated. Next, scoop up a layer of floating light fat and put it in your pocket. After cooling, it becomes ghee. Butter has high nutritional value and can be consumed in many ways, but in Tibet it is mainly used to prepare butter tea.

Palm ginseng

Gymnosperm palmata, as its name suggests, is shaped like a palm tree. It is a very precious medicinal material unique to southeastern Tibet and has the effect of nourishing and replenishing blood. qi. Some taste like potatoes, which are usually enjoyed in stone pot chicken. As one of the few special medicinal materials in Tibetan medicine, gymnosperm palmata has long been entirely dependent on wild natural resources due to the difficulty of artificial reproduction.

Highland Barley

Highland barley has a strong sense of regional identity. When people mention upland barley, they think of Tibet and upland barley wine. There is probably no other culture. Like Highland barley, it is so closely integrated into a nation. It seems that there is always a woman wearing traditional Tibetan clothing standing on the highland barley. The sun ofplateau shines on a large patch of upland barley and shines on its face. Upland barley grows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. After domestication and cultivation, highland barley completely adapted to the extreme climate of the plateau and became the main food of the Tibetan people.

Wooden bowl

"If you can't throw it away, you can't take it away. If your lover is a wooden bowl, you can hold it in your arms . “These are the words of an ancient Tibetan ballad. In the lyrics, Tibetans compare wooden bowls to lovers, which can also mean that wooden bowls are as important as lovers. A small wooden bowl is a vital and emotional support for Tibetans. We can imagine the importance of wooden bowls in Tibetan life. Tibetan wooden bowls are light, strong and durable. They are very popular with shepherds because they retain flavorless foods, make them boilr water without cracking, fall to the ground without breaking and do not burn or freeze your hands.

Tibetan incense

Tibetan incense is one of the specialties of Tibet. In Tibetan areas, whether in temples or among ordinary people, the unique flavor of Tibetan incense is everywhere. Mixed with the flavors of milk tea and butter, it creates a mysterious Tibetan flavor. Tibetan incense looks like it is very ordinary, but it has medicinal effects that other incense cannot match. The best Tibetan incense contains hundreds of spices and herbs that can make people feel good. Many people do not know that this snowy plateau, which seems to have a harsh climate, is actually a plant kingdom. There are thousands of medicinal plants, which are the best raw materials for making Tibetan incense.

Tibetan boots

In Tibet, Tibetan boots have played an irreplaceable role since the Antequity, and people also call them pastoral boots. The original boots and shoes were made of cowhide, with thicker soles and thinner surfaces. The bottom and surface are sewn with cowhide and sheepskin strips, and the front end of the shoe mouth is decorated with fur cowhide and sheepskin. This type of boots and shoes can be considered the ancestor of Tibetan boots. However, after long-term development and changes, its descendants have become more refined, more beautiful, more reasonable and more practical, and can meet the needs of shepherds for production and living in special natural conditions, they are therefore very popular. For mainland tourists visiting Lhasa for the first time, the happiest part is dressing up as a Tibetan on Barkhor Street. It's just a big Tibetan dress, and a pair of shoesalways feels a little less Tibetan. It would be delicious if paired with Tibetan boots.
