persian

The Persian empire was just as (if not more) wealthy than the Greeks although not as technologically advanced.

In Persian cuisine at least, pomegranate was used in a lot of dishes that the tomato then conquered.

Hopefully, you have friends or family who know Persian well enough to help you find it.

But recently they couldn't understand Arabic and Persian good enough (perhaps this has changed now).

One particular instance comes to mind of camped on the outskirts of a small dirt road village near the Persian gulf.

There are quite a few Persian restaurants, but I haven't found any of them to particularly stand out.

If you're just generally looking for Persian cuisine in SF, Lavash is great.

I am curious, is awareness of Persian history a regular part of Iranian cultural life?

Email me whatever you would like to have shared and I will print and take them to all the local Persian stores.

One possible risk of global warming is that it'll allow heat/humidity combinations that don't even exist right now (except, on the worst days, in the Persian Gulf).

The Persian Empire had a lot of subjugated populace.

America, the Persian Gulf or anywhere else with oil.

And then there's me, who enjoys the Persian breed's motto - "Live imperiously, die inconventiently".

Urdu is similar, where the Persian/Arabic script was adopted to write Hindustani, the prevalent spoken language of north/central India.

The thing with Iranians is that most of them are ethnically and linguistically Persian.

This reminds me so much of George Alec Effinger's Budayeen cycle of cyberpunk novels, though it's supposed to involve Arabic culture not Persian.
