The best grapes in the world.
The pomegranates in this area also are memorable. The pomegranate fruits are fantastic, but the pomegranate groves are not particularly memorable other than for the sauna-like heat and the bombs and firefights. Pomegranate groves in this area cannot compare with the soothing air and the olfactory fireworks in these kishmesh khanas.
Enjoying grapes amid the smells and atmosphere of a kishmesh khana is accentuated by complimentary gunfire, crackling radios, and helicopters roaring very low overhead and casting brief shadows inside.
Look at those babies.
The grapes hang on one end of the kishmesh khana while the raisins hang on the other end.
The sun beats in. During a single Afghan summer, they come to life and then youth is gone forever. The path from grape to raisin is one way.
The raisins are another story.
The final product.
Afghan raisins.
