Food is a crucial element to every culture on Earth. Much like the incredibly diverse languages, customs, and social norms that can be found around the planet, the daily food habits of any geographical area can differ greatly from another. With Afghan Kebab House II in the city, New Yorkers don’t have to go far to sample delicious Afghan cuisine—but they’ll certainly have a deeper appreciation for the Middle Eastern restaurant with a little background of the daily food culture in Afghanistan.

Bread forms the foundation of the daily food habits of Afghanis. Flat breads are placed on an iron plate above a fire or set on the inner wall in a clay oven to cook. These flats breads are often dipped in light meat stock for a bit more flavor. Dairy products are also important to the fabric of everyday Afghan food; items such as yogurt, butter, cream, and dried buttermilk are also all staples of the diet. Peas, dried fruit, onions, beans, and nuts are also stars of Afghan cuisine.

Meals are cooked with different types of oil, including that of a sheep’s tail, and are prepared according to the region’s religious laws. While pork and wild boar are not eaten, other acceptable meats are slaughtered within the guidelines of the religious law and used in a variety of dishes. Once prepared, Afghan cuisine is traditionally eaten with the right hand from common bowls on the ground.
