Pala nomads living in [[Western Tibet]] have a diet that is unusual in that they consume very few vegetables and no fruit. The main staple of their diet is ''[[tsampa]]'' and they drink [[Tibetan cuisine|Tibetan]] style [[butter tea]]. Pala will eat heartier foods in the winter months to help keep warm. Some of the customary restrictions they explain as cultural saying only that ''drokha'' do not eat certain foods, even some that may be naturally abundant. Though they live near sources of [[fish as food|fish]] and [[fowl]] these do not play a significant role in their diet, and they do not eat [[carnivorous]] animals, [[rabbit]]s or the wild asses that are abundant in the environs, classifying the latter as [[horse]] due to their cloven hooves. Some families do not eat until after the morning milking, while others may have a light meal with butter tea and ''tsampa''. In the afternoon, after the morning milking, the families gather and share a communal meal of tea, ''tsampa'' and sometimes [[yogurt]]. During winter months the meal is more substantial and includes meat. [[Herder]]s will eat before leaving the camp and most do not eat again until they return to camp for the evening meal. The typical evening meal may include thin stew with ''tsampa'', animal fat and dried [[radish]]. Winter stew would include a lot of meat with either ''tsampa'' or boiled flour [[dumpling]]s.<ref name="goldstein">{{cite book |last1=Goldstein |first1=Mervyll |title=Nomads of Western Tibet: The Survival of a Way of Life |date=1990 |publisher=University of California Press |page=114 |isbn=978-0520072107 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=igQiDpD66pwC&pg=PA114}}</ref>

Nomadic diets in [[Kazakhstan]] have not changed much over centuries. The Kazakh nomad cuisine is simple and includes meat, salads, marinated vegetables and fried and baked [[bread]]s. [[Tea]] is served in bowls, possibly with sugar or [[milk]]. Milk and other [[dairy]] products, like [[cheese]] and [[yogurt]], are especially important. ''[[Kumys]]'' is a drink of [[fermentation|fermented]] milk. [[Wrestling]] is a popular sport, but the nomadic people do not have much time for leisure. Horse riding is a valued skill in their culture.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Pavlovic |first1=Zoran |title=Kazakhstan |date=2003 |publisher=Infobase Publishing |page=57 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uR_x9HdQra0C&pg=PA57|isbn=978-1438105192 }}</ref>
