An AK-47 Roll from Akhalwayas.

Looks good, doesn't it?
 
Contains chips, salads, steak, polony, viennas, cheese, and whatever else the chef decides to throw in while making it.

It's meant to feed six people, but one person usually eats the entire thing.
 
Are you serious? Do you know how much skill the chef needs to have to abstain from eating the customer's order instead of giving it to him?

And no matter how you look at it, an AK-47 Roll is a work of art. A simple and humble work of art, but a work of art nonetheless.
 
Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay and them make intricate dishes which are most of the time tasteless. They only look good.
 
I have to admit, Gordon getting owned by his guests on the F word is too hilarious.

As for chefs trying their level best not to eat customers food - that's what they get paid for isn't it? :D
Scimi
 
Mutton curry (made using boneless meat), followed closely by chicken curry.

And I'll take Akhni (preferably chicken Akhni) any day over Biryaani.

True, those dishes from fancy restaurants are just for the sake of the image or label associated with them.

Arabs are very generous people and very hospitable, the smallest portions in Arab takeaways are too huge for me too finish. And once at an Arab friend's house I made the mistake of complimenting their apple tree, they immediately told their son to pick a bag full of apples and forced me to take it home, and when they next visited me they brought another bag of apples. I try not to mention if I like anything now.

Definitely, the Arabs are well-known for that. And if you eat by their house, they'll continue piling food into your plate as you eat whether you object or not. I don't know of any race as generous as the Arabs. And they love having guests. That's why you'll find that most Arab dishes are meant to be eaten in a group; they don't go in for stuff like burgers which just one person will eat. They go in for food which gets put into a huge platter and everyone will sit around eating from that one platter; not individual eating.

I learned that the hard way. I used to think it's rude if you don't finish your plate at someone's house, only Arab families don't let you empty your plate, for them it's rude to even leave it looking half full. I think the first time I just carried on eating until I realised they weren't going to stop. Sooo much food, for them food is their way of expressing love.

I think Afghans are similar, my uncles are *very* generous. Don't even start on shopping with them, you look at one thing for a second too long, it's in the shopping bag no matter how much you protest.
