It is safe to say that momo has become one of the most loved and trending food in the past decade. If we overlook its tempting side, it is interesting how momo has become familiar to us, considering the food limitations of the dominant caste group in the past years. In addition to that, momo is unique to other food that we grew up eating.
Today, we find momo in extravagant restaurants to the street food vendor. In the following years, we have grown our love towards momo. But how did it all start? Is momo a Nepali dish? Is momo a recent obsession or has been part of historical development? What does momo tell us about our food culture?
How is food culture developing in the senses of Nepali people? And has momo become part of our identity? This episode would be helpful next time you try to flex your foreign friend about momo. It is fascinating to know the history behind it and, It would also be tasty starters for conversation. Also, being a Nepali, we feel it is safe to know to speak few sentences about momo, right?
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Wang Yong Limbu for being part of our podcast as our special guest.
