People eat different foods in different places. Let’s take the example of Nepal.

Nepalhas no sea. Most people in Nepal are farmers. Theygrow grains, fruit, and other crops in the lowlands. The temperatures are very warm there. Rice and corn grow in terraced fields in the cooler hill regions. Potatoes and barley are the staple or chief crops at higher elevations. Temperatures are the cooler there.

   The Nepalese raise goats, cattle and yaks for dairy produce. They eat meat only on special occasions. Religious rules affect which meats people in Nepal eat: Hindus, who make up almost 90 percent of the population, do not eat beef, and Muslims do not eat pork
