Afghan coats originate from Ghazni province, situated between Kabul and Kandahar. The coats were made from sheepskins that were fully cured and tanned, colourful and finely embroidered with silk thread. They were first imported to the UK in 1966 by Craig Sams , who sold them through hippy boutiques including Granny Takes a Trip on London s Kings Road. The Beatles visited the shop and emerged wearing the coats. Photographs of them in Afghan coats appeared in print media. They also wore them, inside out, for the cover picture of the Magical Mystery Tour LP. Demand took off and the artisanal makers of Ghazni could not keep up. Crude imitations from Iran and Turkey flooded the market. These coarsely embroidered and poorly cured imitations gave the Afghan Coat its undeserved reputation for smelliness.

Image Afghan bread.jpg right thumb Afghan bread Afghan bread , or Nan e Afghani Persian language Persian , is the national bread of Afghanistan . ref http www.mansfieldct.org schools mms reads OSOR06 1 Design Breadwinner 20HTML 20Pages recipes.htm ref The bread is oval or rectangular and baked in a tandoor , a cylindrical oven which is the primary cooking equipment of the sub continental region. The Afghan version of the tandoor sits above ground and is made of bricks, which are heated to cook the bread. The bread, also known as nan , is shaped and then stuck to the interior wall of the oven to bake. Nigella sativa Etymology Black cumin or caraway seeds are often sprinkled on the bread, as much for decoration as for taste, and lengthwise lines are scored in the dough to add texture to the bread. Afghan bread is commonly stocked at Middle Eastern grocery stores in western countries. In Afghanistan the baker still cooks the bread the traditional way by spreading the dough around the tandoor, so that it quickly puffs up and starts to colour and emit a fresh bread smell that draws the early morning throngs of people. The baker then uses two long iron tongs to pull the bread from the tandoor wall. Afghans carry the bread in cloth bags, unlike western breads which are packaged in plastic. Similar to that in Arab countries, bread is served with most meals and is generally torn into shreds and used by those eating to envelope foods, so that they can be picked up and conveyed to the mouth, in a manner similar to a sandwich , and also to soak up liquids on the plate. Since people in Afghanistan normally use their hands to eat, the bread thus acts as both a fork and a spoon . The bread has no firm crust and tastes similar to the Indian cuisine Indian and Pakistani cuisine Pakistani variants of naan bread. It has a dense and rich taste.
