Popis The paper deals with the cultural aspects of foods and beverages in Inner Asia with focus on the Tibetan cultural realm. I argue that everyday foods illustrate cultural identity: Food(s) are vehicles for expressing culture. In fact, food is the base of every society and food and at the same time it is a tool to communicate ideas, values, identities, and attitudes. Being aware that Tibetan cuisine represents a combination of influences from China, Central Asia, Mongolia, India, and Nepal, for instance, I am questioning according to what criteria do the Tibetans qualify a foodstuff or a dish as “traditional” or even “unique”. I will, hence, validate the framework that food can produce control and coercion in both the political and social spheres.
