    Last night I had a Persian dinner...

    I have a friend who's family is from Iran. My friends sister was in town visiting so her family through a big dinner party. Aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends, the whole shabang. Probably about 30-35 people were there for dinner, all Persian.

    I have never felt so out of place in my life, lol. It wasn't because I'm white, it was because everyone was speaking Farci (sp?) but me. A third of the people there didn't know English, including the little kids.

    Anyway, we had chafron (sp?) chicken and chafron (again, sp?) rice and holy shit was that good. There were these little berries in the rice that were sort of bitter, they were very tasty.

    I grew up on meat and potatoes but lately have been trying all sorts of new stuff. All VERY good, but nothing beats my meat and 'taters. :-)

      Nothing beats your meat?

      Sounds like you are talking about saffron chicken. Good stuff!

          Saffron is the word you were attempting.

              Goos for you....the Persian restaurant we went in Amsterdam wasn't that good. I like Persian food, but only if it's prepared by natives FOR the natives,
              like yours was.

                      Depends on if you get the white or the black meat.

                              Some kind of berry from the Mediterranean. I have no idea what its called. I couldn't understand anything, haha.

                                  Hmm its the center of the spice world so that means litterally any berry.
                                  Could be juniper, cappers, funegreek (thats sweet though), or many others.
