Bhutanese cuisine

Bhutanese food is rice, generally a local red rice, served with either a little dried meat cooked with very hot chilies or red capsicum onum or a sauce made from chilies and local cheese. Bhutan food is generally know for it's simplicity but in reality it really is quite a specialty to marry the flavours and the spices... not to mention the effort involved in getting and maintaining the ingredients.
