Decorated Bread - Non
There is nothing more delicious than a non, baked in the traditional, round clay oven, which is heated with firewood, and then the bread is tucked to the inside over the fire, and finally sprayed with water.
Bread for Uzbeks is sacred. For them, non is more than just food. It is placed under the head of a newborn as a way of wishing it a long life without problems. It is put between the legs of a baby who has just taken his first step to provide a blessing for its path. Mother's have their sons take a bite from bread, hoping they will soon return from war or army service.
At any Uzbek market, there are endless rows of non with so many designs, names and aromas. There are more than 30 types of Uzbek bread: with meat, with onions, with crushed nuts, tomatoes, raisins, and many other things.
And non is delicious when eaten with beer!
