Snacks from Tajikistan

Tajik snacking is dried mulberries, apricots, and nuts from the orchards, and non, the tandyr bread torn as a nibble. Halva. Sambusa. Qurutob is a meal. The Pamirs snack on dairy dried in balls. This is orchard fruit and tandyr bread, not a Kazakh baursak paragraph pasted south, even when fried dough appears.
