Persian bread and breakfast banter from Afghanistan
Afghanistan Cor. London Daily News describes Persian bread as large leatherlike flaps rivaling old Teather aprons in size and toughness. Report notes butter appearing at breakfast, Governor of Khorassan’s cook preparations, and a diner joking it was almost like arriving at Dover. The piece also mentions Vienna’s carnival beggars ball with thieves costumes and a provocative prize for best dressed.
