Flatbread is a special type of bakery product popular in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Orient. The inhabitants of many eastern countries treat flatbread with respect. Flatbreads are revered just as bread is revered in European countries. For Arabs, flatbread is the analog of bread, which feeds families for many centuries.
The traditions of handling flatbread are strict. It is not allowed to throw the flatbread on the floor, cut it, or put it in the trash.
To this day, Central Asians and Orientals try not to ignore the simple rules of respect for tortillas.
