Culinary dishes that are located or originated in the 94th largest country

In case you couldn't tell (unless you look it up or memorized each country by size because you have no life sorry to be mean) I'm talking about Nepal. I searched for interesting foods in Nepal, and although you may  not find them interesting, I do, because I'm a picky eater and if I learn about new foods I might want to try some and I won't be a picky eater (hopefully), so, I found Momo, Gorkhali lamb, Pulao, and Thukpa. (As a side note I'm not sure if they're proper nouns, so I capitalized them.)

1. Momo
     A flour based dough is wrapped around steamed vegetables or meat and is then fried, almost like a dumpling. It is served as a snack with strong spicy dip.

2. Gorkhali lamb
     Lamb is first slow cooked in curry with onions and potatoes before it is removed, grilled, and sealed with a spicy chili mix. It is then transferred back into the curry and cooked a bit more. It is served with rice and roti.

3. Pulao
   It's basically fried rice, seasoned with turmeric and cumin.

4. Thukpa 
It's a hot noodle soup with meat and vegetables, the meat can be yak, goat, lamb or chicken and is carefully seasoned

Those are a small bite of Nepalese food. Do you think you might want to try some of these? If so, why?

  2. Nice blog Henry, I really liked how you added some voice to your article at the beginning and your own opinions about the food when you described it. I would want to try some of those foods because they seem interesting and yummy and the Thukpa looks amazing. I would probably like Pulao the most because I've ate fried rice before. Finally, I would recommend Rory's blog about food in Nepal because there are some other foods in there and it also has descriptions of the foods.
