What do Tibetans eat?

Ciba and butter tea are the most distinctive and common diets of Tibetan people. It is said that Tibetan compatriots would rather have no meat in March than butter tea in a day. It can be seen that Ciba and buttered tea handed down from generation to generation have an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Tibetan people. ?

Hey?

Ciba is a great Tibetan food, which is a transliteration of "fried noodles" in Tibetan. "fried noodles" are thin noodles fried with highland barley or peas, which are white in color and fragrant in taste. ?

Buttered tea?

Camellia oleifera is a special beverage in China and Tibet. It is often eaten as a staple food with Ciba, which has the function of keeping out the cold. Butter tea is made of butter and strong tea, and there is also a touching love story behind it. ?

It is said that there used to be two tribes in Tibetan areas, the ruling tribe and the angry tribe, which were at loggerheads because of the conflict. However, Mei Meicuo, the daughter of the chief in charge of the tribe, fell in love with Wintumba, the son of the Nu chief. Due to the historical feud between the two tribes, the chief in charge of the tribe sent someone to kill Wintunba. During the cremation ceremony for Wintonba, Mei Meicuo jumped into the sea of fire to double suicide. After their death, they become tea on tea trees and salt in salt lakes, so that whenever Tibetans play buttered tea, tea and salt can meet again. ?

When making butter tea, you need to put a proper amount of butter into a special bucket, add a little salt, then pour in the boiled strong tea juice, and stir it repeatedly with a wooden handle to make the butter and tea juice dissolve into one and become milky white. ?
