Nepalese eat stewed peas with spices. Usually, they are served with rice and spicy pickles. For me, it was O.K. but not so delicious. It is similar to Indian curry. I met some Indian tourists in Nepal, they said that they were really missing their Indian dishes. I thought that they wouldn't have any problems with the food in Nepal, because their diets are similar, but they said, "You might complain if Chinese people run a Japanese restaurant, and their menu differs from real Japanese dishes!" Yes, we can see many Japanese restaurants run by Chinese and some of them are disappointing for us.
Nepalese eat stewed peas with rice twice a day, for lunch and dinner. They don't eat any breakfast, and just have some tea in the morning instead.
During meals, they have some nice snacks. The most popular snack among tourists is the Nepalese dumpling, 'momo'. Even the Lonely Planet recommends it. Usually, they are steamed and we eat them with a spicy sauce. We can find them, of course, in restaurants and also at street vendors. I was a frequent customer of a vendor near my friend's place. Twelve small momos cost about 35 cents. I ate momos with other Nepalese people on the side of the vendor, sometimes I brought them back to my friend's home. Besides momo, the other snacks include meat pies, fried chicken, and doughnuts.
