Ubiquitous Yogurt -- Dogh


When I first read about Dogh, (or 'Dough', but I'm going to favor the less confusing spelling), I thought, "How unique!" How far from the truth I was.

Though I'm in Afghanistan this week, I've certainly been trying to do a little bit of research ahead of time, and I admit my research has largely only covered the "A"s. Still, it seems to me that if you stuck the pointy end of your compass in, let's say, Syria, and the pencil end in, say, Poland, and drew a circle from there, you'd find a version of this dish in every country inside the circle.

All told, the dogh was alright. Mine came out a little thick, so I ended up having it with a spoon, but it complemented the Qabili Palau wonderfully. I'm sure that's no coincidence. I'm not exactly a daily consumer of yogurt, but I would definitely make it again, especially in these hot Japanese summers.
