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.
