We have returned from Afghanistan and are now working on a big film about our trip. A lot of material has been shot. But while the editing is in progress, we decided to show you some short sketches. So let's talk today about... street food in Afghanistan. This is perhaps what unites both Afghans and Russians - we all love to eat deliciously. So what do they eat in Afghanistan? This question will probably baffle you. If you read any CNN, they will tell you that Afghans are starving and are ready to kill for a piece of bread. Like, what kind of cooking can there be in such conditions? But this is not true. Afghanistan - like any eastern country - has its own cuisine, and a varied one at that. It was formed under the influence of Iran, India and Mongolia. From India came saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves - in short, all sorts of interesting spices. From the Persians came mint, spinach, dishes like kyufte or ghormeh. And from the Mongols came noodles and dumplings. Almost all Afghan dishes are very fatty. This has been the case for many centuries and has become part of the culture. If you invite guests and there is no pilaf, fried chicken or roast on the table, for example, this is disrespect on your part. There should be a lot of everything, and fatter. This “more” and “fatter” are the main criteria for local street food. So an Afghan gastro tour awaits you. You definitely won’t find anything like this in Russian markets. #baza #Afghanistan #AnatolySuleymanov #baza
