Afghan Mulberries (The Forbidden Fruit)


Afghan Mulberries

After having been stuffed with food they brought out a round of Mulberries. At this point I had just gotten over being really sick the week before from eating unwashed vegetables (or that is what the doctor thought, hell if I know whether they had been washed or not) so I was leery at best when they served the basket of fruit. When they noticed I wasnt eating they asked why and I mentioned my delicate stomach and how I wasnt sure the fruit had been washed so one of the Afghans hopped up, took the basket, dunked it in the river (where people wash their clothes, swim, bath, etc), and swished the fruit around... that pretty much helped me make up my mind as to whether or not I would partake of the (now) forbidden fruit.
