MIKE’S TRAVEL BLOG: PERSIAN FOODS

Hey, everyone! It’s another day of my journey in the Middle East, and I’m now in Iran. I’m eating different Persian foods, and I can tell you that I love them. You can eat Persian dishes in Iran and the countries around it. 

There’s rice in 80% of the dishes. It’s an important part of most dishes. The rice is really delicious here. It’s different from the rice we eat in the US. 

People here don’t just eat rice. There are other things that they mix with it. They cook chicken or fish, or they make kebabs with meat or chicken and eat it with tomatoes and vegetables. Don’t forget bread! There’s always some bread in every meal. People put the bread under the rice, chicken or meat and eat it with the food. To me, Persian dishes are delicious, but they can be too much for people like me. Sometimes I can’t finish one plate!
