Persian Kabobs

And it was funny wasn't it.

It was.

I was sitting here thinking to myself that cider is sweet and this was kind of bitter that I was sure it wasn't marinated in cider, maybe cider vinegar but not just cider. I'm so innocent and stuff.

Oh Pixie, you sweet and innocent soul. That made me laugh out loud when I read that and pictured the look on your face when you figured it out.

I assume the food is Persian since I asked the woman who owns Silver Skewers in Waldorf where she was from and she said Persia.

Interesting since it hasn't been called Persia in ages.

She's from Iran.

Then again, I wouldn't want to broadcast I was from there.

Could someone please send K_Jo a PMer explaining this thread. I would, but I'm not allowed to contact her for a set period of time.

Maybe she moved here ages ago?

Before 1935??

:shrug: She could be really old.

I doubt she was 10 years my dad's senior but anything is possible I suppose. Highly unlikely. Let the lady have her glory; she makes kick arse food! I don't care if she's from Antarctica and claims to be from England!

I'd give her about my dad's age which is late 50's born in the mid to late 40s. She may have aged REALLY well though.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...... you mean like Otter?

You never know though. My grandma was born in 1924 and looks like she's in her 60s.

Mikey doesn't know what he's talking about anyway. I googled Persian cuisine and think I may have found it. What does saffron taste like?

And saffron is like yellow rice.

I don't know, but now I have "Mellow Yellow" stuck in my head.

Yes, they use white and yellow rice.

I can't figure out what the green spicey spice is though!

I've known lots of Middle Eastern people say that they are from Persia. It's better to say you are from Persia then Iran apparently, atleast that's what I understand.

Why not?

Besides, many call themselves persians.

As for the question in the thread, I have no idea what they use, but I'm heading to Moby Dick's tonight

My son's cub scout pack is working on their culture credit and they had a speaker from Iran the other night (one of the boys father). He repeatedly referred to Iran and his culture as "Persian". He was a wonderful speaker and the boys were very impressed. I did not however, ask him what he soakes his meat in. Sorry.
