MEAL TIME AT TYPICAL TAMANG HOME


Tamangs eat what they grow on their own lands: wheat and barley during the months may through July; potatoes in August through October; millet, maize and some rice from November to April or May. Tamang will
not allow buffalo meat, garlic, nettles or paha the tree toad to the forest in their houses, although there is no prohibition against eating these things if they are cooked outside in the open or in some other house.


Momo and thukpa are a popular food eaten by most Tamangs.

Gundruk and dhedo is the most commmon used in tamang society. Tamang's are very laborious and very sound in physical state.
