A parliamentary delegation composed of four Members of the European Parliament (led by Vice-President Ms Evelyn Regner, with Ms Ulrike M\u00fcller, Mr Tom\u00e1\u0161 Zdechovsk\u00fd and Mr Maximilian Krah) paid an official visit to Bhutan and Nepal during the week of 19 to 23 September 2022. During their visit to Bhutan, they were invited to participate in a dinner, in support of the Regional Food Programme of SHINE, on 19th September, 2022 at Hotel Zhiwaling Ascent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The dinner highlighted the use of locally and sustainably sourced products such as papaya flower, banana flower and Tupistra (a genus in the family Asparagaceae). The raw ingredients – flower blossoms and shells were displayed together with the handicrafts from Eastern Bhutan, in particular from Trashi Yangtse and Zhemgang. The flower dishes were made in authentic Bhutanese style by Folk Heritage Restaurant in Thimphu, which has extensive experience in making Bhutanese dishes and is one of the prominent restaurants for both local and tourists in Thimphu.<\/p>\n
