Meals

I have had some amazing food here, it has been cooked by an Afghan man but it has mainly been western style, there have been a few afghan dishes, but not much. However in our guest house, we sit round a table like you would in the West. Tonight I got to visit the home of some expats, and though we had a semi afghan/western meal, we ate like you would in Afghanistan. This meant, a bunch of pillow type things on the floor, then a plastic type sheet spread over the rug, and all the food, plates, cutlery and drink put onto the the sheet. It was really amazing to experience that. Their house was also in another part of town with lots of winding roads to negotiate in order to actually reach their house. We had a great time, lots of laughs and great fun, I also got a great view of the city from their roof which was amazing, with the mountains surrounding on every side, suddenly some of the passages I have read in the books about Kabul make so much more sense. A really amazing place!
