Bread that is hard
Contexto cultural
Bread is considered 'holy' (киелі). You should never step on a crumb or place bread on the floor. Even 'қатты нан' is treated with reverence. The traditional 'Tandyr nan' (round bread) stays fresh for a long time, but when it becomes 'қатты', it is often used as a bowl for meat dishes or soaked in soup. Due to the history of famines and WWII, older generations have a very emotional connection to bread. 'Hard bread' is a reminder of survival. In cities, people buy 'кептірілген нан' (rusks) as a snack for tea, which is essentially 'қатты нан' that has been seasoned and baked again.
Check the date
In Kazakhstan, bread is often delivered twice a day. If you find 'қатты нан', wait for the evening delivery.
Don't throw it away
If you are staying with a Kazakh family, never throw 'қатты нан' in the bin. Ask where the 'bread bag' is.
