TABLE MANNER IN AFGHANISTAN
Hi guys I come back with the same topic “TABLE MANNER”. From child to adult we are always taught the ethics of good eating by the family, strating from sitting neatly, chewing with mouth shut until not putting elbows on the table. But, every country in the world has different and unique eating procedures.
Table manner is carried out by each country or region in order to maintain the tradition that is owned.
This week I will discuss about Table manner in Afghanistan. Here are some procedures for eating in Afghanistan :
1. In Afghanistan eating together is a tradition that cannot be missed.
2. Eat by sitting on the floor that is given a base (Lesehan) with food that is overflowing is considered s a form of joy by local residents of Afghanistan.
3. Besides eating on the floor (Lesehan) Afghans also eat using their righ hand.
4. Althought eating together, but ther is a perhibition for men and women who have not been married (unmerried) to sit close together, ther is always a limit for both. This rule is also applied in the restaurant there.
5. Staple food in Afghanistan is flatbrad. But, some urban settlements and some areas also eat rice.
6. when they eat, they always provide dairy products like yogurt.
food in Afghanistan is usually cooked with various types of oil, including fat from sheep’s tail.
7. Afghans love Goat meeat and Kebabs. The restaurants that are there make excellent Goat meat (primadona) from food. and also tea drinks are drinks that are drunk every day by the people of Afghanistan.
8. Afghans people forbid drinking alcoholic beverages and eating pork.
9. The last unique eating tradition that Afghanistan has is if there is bread falling on the floor, then they take the bread and kiss (smell) it before eating. it is a sign of respect for meal.
That is ethics of eating in Afghanistan that is not too different from other Middle Eastern countries.
