I had Tsampa once in a Tibetan Village accompanied by two monks and a lama who went there to conduct a ceremony for the village. So what I had was the genuine article. I had it in two forms. With tea it was fairly thick liquid and palatable. The taste was not very strong. But later I was given it in its thick sticky paste form with no added tea. This tasted like eating mud. Thick cloying mud that made it impossible to swallow quickly. As I was in the village chief's house at the time ( an honour ) I had no choice but to eat what I was given. But I nearly threw up and it was only politeness that prevented me from doing so. Definitely an aquired taste but I will not be serving it up to my dinner guests in this lifetime.

At important celebrations such as weddings, festivals and holidays, birthdays and, especially, New Year festivities, Tibetans follow a tradition hundreds of years old of throwing roasted barley flour (called tsampa) into the air, calling out 'Tashi Delek' (pronounced much as it's written) which translates in quite a lot of different ways in English. Roughly, it indicates 'Blessings' or, of course, 'Good luck'.

This phrase is used, with or without the flour, by Tibetans living in Tibet, China, and all over the world, as a general greeting as well a celebratory cry.

Barley is the main crop of Tibet and tsampa is Tibet's main food; the term refers to the flour as well as to the dough, porridge, and so on, made from it.
