Bhutan cuisine

Traditional dishes in Bhutan include “sicum paa” or dried local pork with Bhutanese chilli, and “bathup,” a hearty soup based on handmade noodles. Other local produce includes hand-churned butter, hand-molded farm cheese, apple vinegar and honey sourced from hives in the wildflower-strewn Bhumthang Valley. Wild mushrooms are featured, as well as red rice grown in the fields below. But don't forget yak. Bhutanese people have an affinity for yak meat.
