A-Typical Afghan Breakfast
Originally uploaded by gaikokujinkyofusho.
Normally Afghan meals are served on a piece of plastic or pleather on the floor so this breakfast was a bit of a treat (in the morning I was not in the mood to sit on the floor).
This breakfast was even more of a treat in that it consisted of more than just jam, bread, and tea (which annoys me even in those bagel and cream cheese house holds in the US). This day we had hard boiled eggs, “Little Debbie” type cakes, tea, and bread… not a four star meal to be sure but more than I normally get.
I was also struck (again) by the absence of women, something that continues to make me feel guilty/uncomfortable.
