Chiles figure prominently in Bhutanese cuisine.  Their national dish is emadatse a spicy chilies and cheese sauce dish. 

Red and white rice,  a variety of vegetables, meat and fish stews along with emadatse were served to us twice a day, sometimes buffet style.   

All meals were included in the price of the tour and only once did we go to a restaurant of our choice and eat a la carte.   We invited Bhim and Kinley and to our surprise they turned up in western clothing. Apparently gho is only compulsory during daylight hours!

Father and baby seem to live in the Motithang Zoo.   These chilies were drying on the bench behind them.
