Local Flavors

They generally don't drink plain milk here. The locals prefer a yogurt-like concoction with sugar and salt added. Shown are locally produced milk. The blue one is "half-cream" milk, which is actually reduced fat. The pink one is strawberry flavored milk, and the yellow one is..... banana milk! The milk actually is tasty but I haven't tried the yogurt. We are warned about consuming any dairy products that don't come in individual containers, and the yogurt is usually spooned out onto individual plates.
The bottle is the Afghan version of fiber supplement, like Metamucil. My prior education noted the lack of constipation and related "problems" in countries like this due to the high proportion of fruits, grains and vegetables; and also the squat-style loos are supposedly better for the back end. However, hemorrhoids is a common complaint here. Maybe it's due to the lack of facilities.
BTW, it finally got into the 20's today and felt balmy. The sun is strong at this altitude and latitude (34 degrees north) so the snow melted a bit. Still very slippery.
