Thank god you did not disagree with my reasoning regarding Newars and Jyapus :). Now my friend, let me tell you why I reasoned that about Nepali and Newari khana. I was just implying, that Newars are nepalese too, thus "tyo pani Nepali ko khana ho" bhanera bhanna matra khojeko. I agree "almost" everything you said. Hands down newari khana is far better than ANY nepali khana or for that matter almost any other khana. Arts, culture & even in civilization, newar's heritage is unmatched among Nepal ko aru jana jaati. Sahi & gathi kuro ho. We all know how far ahead KTM, Bhaktapur & Patan were compared to other Nepali 'rajya's at that tyam. But are your sure that Newari culture and language would not be in endangered cultures of UN? Anyways, my simple point was not to "CLAIM" that newari khana and nepali khana are same, but was just implying, Newari khana is also Nepali khana in the sense that Newars are also Nepalese. Tyati matra bhaneko ho. Ofcourse Newari khana has its separate identity and most delicious of all. And about bahuns coming to Newar ko bhooj. I would imagine it's coz in Newar's booj they got to eat so many delicacies as much as they can, where as their bhooj, hehe, hardly enough to eat. Masu ma pani jhool bahek kehi hundaina. Soory maaf pau. do not want to offend anyone, but it is a fact ( in general). Aba aja bhanda kehi barsa agadi samma chahi yestai thio kyara :) IndisGuise:)
