Activities in Bhutan. National cuisine of Bhutan is fairly simple - rice is a staple food, which is used in various combinations with vegetables, sauces, saffron and butter. Bhutanese prefer to cook brown rice, grown on mountain slopes plantations. Rice is widely used in soups and garnishes, boiled, fried, in pilafs, grinded in flour, etc. Wheat and potatoes also are grown in Bhutan. They add "Chile" pepper almost in all dishes in all possible combinations. "EMA-datse" - fiery pepper and cheese, cooked in butter, and mushrooms baked with cheese – is the national dish. All kinds of vegetables and bread made of wheat, rice or corn flour are always served at the table. Meat products are not popular in Bhutan, because religion does not allow local people to kill living beings. Drink shusa - Bhutanese tea with butter, salt and pepper is very popular here. Among alcoholic beverages are consumed local brew "macaw" and wheat beer "Chang" and "Changi”
