For most people in the villages all over Nepal the staple diet is rice and vegetables called Dal bhat. This is eaten twice a day, around 10am and 8pm. However if there is a stream running near your home there is the chance to vary your diet with a little fish.
The first picture shows a young woman in the early morning checking her net which has been out all night. You can see the straw box to carry the fish home.

She then sorts the fish into large and small squeezing out the guts of the bigger ones with her thumb and first finger.

They are then cooked over the slow fire, or dried and stored.

She is lucky, in several high parts of the country they cannot grow enough food or catch enough fish to last through the winter. Here people relay on helicopter flights to bring in bags of rice from other parts of the country.

When you sit down to eat today be thankful for all you have on your table.
