Treated like a Persian king

Photo essay: Heavenly foods during trip back to Iran

by Alahazrat Hajagha

This past Christmas I got a chance to go back to Iran after 12 years. I was a super star there and I was treated like a Persian king. These pictures are just a few examples of what Iran offered me on this trip. I think Persian food is the food of heaven. Jaton khali!

Translation: A Prayer Before the Meal

by A Hassan (lall) Danesh (not verified) on

O my kind Lord
Thank you
Ror this meal
That you have put before me
I do my best
To eat my meal gently and slowly
Instead of devouring it in rush and in hurry
Like a hungry beast
This way during having my meal
I have time to pause in between briefly
To remember you in continuity
For without you
There might be no meal coming after this one

---Amen

Great photos, but...

If I learnt anything from our history is we don't treat our kings all that well!! So I'd change the title...

My philosophy is if anyone from Iran promises to treat me like a king/queen I run like hell!!!

I went back to Iran after 27

by Anonymousss8 (not verified) on

I went back to Iran after 27 year, this summer. I only regret why I didn't do it sooner.
Best food, best people, best nature ......

I read all the comments. Some nearly had a orgasm by the way they described the pictures! Perhaps some of us look up to our mullah leaders in Tehran too much.

Experience: Hold on to It for a Little Longer

When the music is great
You want to hear it louder
When the fabric is silky soft
You want to to touch it longer
When the scenery is beautiful
You want to get to it closer
When the smell is awesome
You want to inhale it deeper
But when the food is great and delicious
Please don't gobble it all up in rush
For you then miss the life time experience

Now that I know what kolompeh is, I will ask my maman to bring me some with her in a couple of weeks. She has many Kermani friends. The same ladies who are going to give her their recipes for aashe kadoo, for me. Thank you much for your kind offer.

What about some concern for the rest of us...

I looked at every picture, and could almost smell and taste each dish with my saliva glands working overtime. It really is not fair doing this to the rest of us.

 I should think you packed a few pounds on this trip though...

Lovely.

Cheers

Just kidding,Kolompeh is made of flour,date, ....

Alahazrat jaan, my question was/is did you eat Bosghormeh or not?!

If not,come to DC,I'll make you Bozghormeh,although it won't taste as delicious as the one they serve in Ostaan e Hasht.

Bah Bah! Khosh Behaalat!

by Monda on

there are a few items that I'm curious about. I never had aash e kadoo...sounds and looks heavenly! I will look for recipe online. Then I always wondered what kolompe was...it looks like a large version of noon berenji, is it? And then naan Kermani, Wow...which again is not in my cook books or bread book.

pix # 10

by ebi amirhosseini on

if you look closer,Alahazrat has provided us the name in the caption:

Aash e Kadoo.

My grandmother used to make this Aash & another one called :Omaachoo.

I believe they are traditional kermani dishes,since Kerman is my parents' home town.

I also see kolompeh,ghottab,(shirini khoonegi kermani) ,masghati( sweet desert)

No " Boz ghormeh" ?!.

Dear Alahazrat

Thank you for sharing these pictures. Even the china pattern brought back many happy memories of home...
I know those dishes were made with the most precious ingredient of all: love.

The pictures show your priority in life. Did you also like many other countrymen pay a visit to Khomeini's tomb?
