Farsi = Parsi ?Originally Posted by bararallu
Parsi's here use egg in every dish and they are pure non-vegetarians. Even the one's who dont eat Non-Veg, think eating a Chicken leg is Vegetarian....

Yer making me hungry, all of you. What ever happened to our party? You see, my goal in live is to eat my way around the world, besides finding the best BBQ...
Madeline,
South Carolina has a mustard-based BBQ sauce that you should try if you ever get a chance. A Jewish friend of mine said he would eat "Swine flu" if it was covered with that BBQ sauce.
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy." (Ps. 137: 5-7)"
"Any generation in which the Temple is not built, it is as if it had been destroyed in their times" (Yerushalmi, Yoma 1a).
So far, I have found the best BBQ in TX, but SC isn't bad. As with all food, certain variations make a big difference.Madeline,

I went to Memphis in May last year, done some judging. What fun.
(of course I realize that this may be a touchy subject here, so I better quit while I am ahead)
BBQ doesn't have to be treyf (non-Kosher) and Jews don't expect non-Jews to keep kosher, Madeline. So, no worries.

Okey dokey, eating right along....
For the most part, aside from the phonetic transformation involved, your Parsis are all Zoroastrian. Farsi culture today can be anything theoretically. It spans from Kurdistan to central Asia. It's like French Culture, where e.g., a Maghreb Arab can be found to be more French than a native born Frenchman. Or a Jew. At least half of the Moroccan Jews in Israel say they are [culturally] French.
Persian food is pretty good. Egg is rare I think in most Persian style dishes. They have an interesting combination of herbs and spices. Like generous servings of Sumac. Then again these days you find it pretty much everywhere. I think in the ME/NE there are just regional variations on a few core dishes. As you get into Northern Iran and Armenia and central Asia, the tastes shift somewhat. e.g., The popular Buchari style plovs (=Pilaf) are pretty different than Iranian Plovs which is different still from what Arabs even in Iraq put together. The type of rice is often different and the spice and preparation is often different as well. But they are related cuisines I guess. On top of that Jewish versions of dishes vary as well, not only because of Koshrut (which is mostly why) but also there are family recipes that have existed for a very long time. I have family that spent the War years in Central Asia so I grew up tasting some great non Balkan (Romanian style) cuisine, which was my staple.Parsi's here use egg in every dish and they are pure non-vegetarians.

BTW. I also like a variety of Indian food. In NY its pretty good (almost as good as London sometimes I think). In Israel it pretty much sucks. Yes I definitely met Indians that either assert or at least pretend that Chicken is not meat!
My fav cuisine these days is Georgian, they really do make some terrific very interesting dishes that is very unlike anything else.
Thanks for the info.
Noway. I think they have eggs in most of the dishes.Persian food is pretty good. Egg is rare I think in most Persian style dishes.
Your fav. Indian food must be Butter Chicken, etc.BTW. I also like a variety of Indian food
Hindus eat meat. Only the Hindu (Brahmins) don't eat meat.
Never tried Georgian Food. But every day i have my tea and breakfast in a Iranian Hotel....My fav cuisine these days is Georgian, they really do make some terrific very interesting dishes that is very unlike anything else.
Indian food is delicious. I worked with several Indian Ladies in Dallas. They often shared some dishes they made, and I also learned how to stir up my tea without a spoon. A big mess in the beginning, now I am rather good at it.Thanks for the info.

How ? Teach me.I also learned how to stir up my tea without a spoon. A big mess in the beginning, now I am rather good at it.
The Indian Ladies took 2 cups and poured the tea back and forth...mixes in sugar and/or milk, and cools it off as well.
That's not tea. It must be Coffee and the Ladies must be South INdian...
I do not know where in India they were from, but they did not drink coffee. I thought it was a neat custom, and who knows, it may have been adapted.That's not tea. It must be Coffee and the Ladies must be South INdian...
