mmm, beans and lard

When we were at Khowst Provincial Headquarters (KPHQ) the police there made dinner for us each night. They don't use silverware or individual plates, but they know we do so they provided them. When they eat, they just use centralized plates and share from there and they use bread as their spoons. They also don't eat at a table...

You'll also notice, they made us dinner, at a table, with silverware and then didn't join us. They had their own group dinner in other rooms. I guess sitting in a chair hurts their butts about the same as sitting on the floor hurts ours... :)


The food tastes pretty good actually. But they use a good amount of fat in the beans and potatoes, and if there's meat in the beans it's gonna be fatty and have gristle in it. So I usually just push the meat off to the side. The rice and bread is always good; I look forward to that part each night.
