afghanistan foods and cuisines

Afghan cuisine is largely based upon the nation's chief crops: cereals like wheat, maize, barley and rice. Accompanying these staples are dairy products (yogurt, whey), various nuts, and native vegetables, and fresh and dried fruits; Afghanistan is well known for its grapes. Afghanistan's culinary specialties reflect its ethnic and geographic diversity and has similarities with neighboring Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.

Afghani cuisine is mild - somewhat similar to the Iranian food I have had - love them all and quite different from Indian/Pakistani. Middle Eastern foods are wonderful and, here again, quite different. There are some staples such as yogurt, some of the breads, etc.
