Editorial Review
America's least favorite country battles cultural prejudice with delicacies of the Hindu Kush. Tender, exotic, flavors you've never tasted. Saffron, rosewater, cardamom. Aromatic rice, leek dumplings, stewed pumpkin. Vegetarians approve; the Taliban disapproves—how do you say "Is that a fully-stocked bar?" in Pashtu? A handful of tables for nostalgic bureaucrats and the mildly curious. Old school Afghanistan—like the first half of The Kite Runner. Big American flag reinforces patriotic creds.
