Yak butter tea and gou-ri

Yak butter tea and gou-ri (deep fried bread) as on the table as soon as you walk into a tibetan nomads house. Be it the home of a friend, family or a complete stranger you will always be ushered in, sat down, and serverd a honoured guests, sheltered from the harsh wind and cold outside.
Though that doesnt mean that you will really want to drink the tea, its, well, an aquired taste...
