FEBRUARY 2023 - AFGHAN DINNER WITH FRIENDS
Afghanistan is a strife-ridden country but is rich in traditions and social customs. Hospitality is very important in the Afghan code of honour. The cuisine is largely based upon the nation’s chief crops, cereals like wheat, maize, barley and rice. Accompanying these staples are dairy products (yoghurt and whey), various nuts, and native vegetables, as well as fresh and dried fruits. Think Kofta, Kabuli Pulow. The traditional mode of eating in Afghanistan is on the floor but we will be substituting the large colourful floor cushions with chairs at Space2b. Space2b invites you to experience this very special Afghanistan Dinner with Friends.
