I met with Susan to discuss aspects of my cultural project about food, so she gave me the run down of food in Afghanistan.
Tea is to be served after each meal, especially lunch and dinner. Chocolate and sweets can be served alongside the tea.
Breakfast in Afghanistan typically includes eggs,milk,sweet tea with bread, and any oil foods. The eggs are usually served fried with tomato and onion. Although dairy is common, cheese is not served with many of the meals. If you go to restaurants in Afghanistan, you will certainly find some foods containing feta.
Lunch consists some sort of rice, meat, and vegetable combination. Rice (barinj) is served alongside most, if not all, meals in Afghanistan. Popular meats include veal, goat, sheep, and chicken. Pork is not consumed based on religious values; pigs are toxic.
Dinner is the time when the entire family will sit down to eat. The cuisine is basically the same as lunch.
It is important to eat meals three times a day and to treat the body well.
