Why in Kyrgyzstan they never give half a share?
It turns out that the Kyrgyz have a local character – when it comes to food, there is no concept of "half".
For example, if you come to a local café, you can easily order a whole serving. You will enjoy a large plate of pilaf, lagman or beshbarmak.
Delicious!
But what if you're a fragile girl? Or just not very hungry? You simply can't grasp such a plate as a whole.
In this case, it seems that the most important thing is to order half a serving.
But the truth is that any café in Kyrgyzstan can offer you a whole, or ... 0.7 Servings!
Yes, yes, it turns out that Kyrgyzstan uses this system of crushing dishes.
Why do this - no one can explain to me.
My question caused a coma or laughter – after all, it was a matter of course for the locals and no one had considered it. But after I mentioned this, everyone understood that they didn't know where the tradition of 0.7 instead of 0.5 came from.
