Most underrated:
Israeli cuisine. From the rightful, and real Jewish promise land that everyone acknowledges as a real state.

LChaim to you too pal.

>>13846548
Honestly reminds me of those Greeks, Italians, Arabs, and Persians... AND NOT the jews whom are God's chosen people at all.

>>13846482
The Jews stole this from Jews?

>>13846589
from tunisia

>>13846594
From Tunisian Jews. Also stealing from Jews is literally in the Quran.

>>13846606
>Also stealing from Jews is literally in the Quran.
Muslims have a religious need to try and steal, or claim for their own everything from the Jews.

>>13846482
Aww I've never had shakshuka. And I could make that. I just never think about it.

>>13846616
ive tried it at a three places and from those experiences: overrated. it's tomato sauce with eggs. it's tasty with good bread but in the end it's a big vat of acid, and bread with a dipping sauce is hard to mess up.
add some pork or beef or beans or lentils or cream or all of the above, and fuck it, add some eggs. it's a weak bolognese or shitty chili.

I'm a rabbi. One time I made fart around Moslems, and they all proclaimed that the smell from my kosher anus made them hongry, and that day a king moslem was so hongry he wanted the recipe, but it was just a kosher fart, so I told him about my ass fart. Then they all started pressing bottles, and their jars to my bottcheks for my farts. Because king moslem was buying kosher farts at a premium.
That day they were all stealing mein farts from my bottcheks.

>>13846646
ha nice

Muslims are pretty based re: their views on women and their hatred of fags. But they need to stop with the whole kill all Christians thing and I’ll have more respect for them.

>>13846697
They don't care about your respect though.

>>13846753
Well I mean I’d prefer the US just make the Middle East a hole in the ground but I’m trying to be nice

>>13846773
Why are you trying to be nice? Are you lost?

>>13846482

>>13846311
Fuck this shitty pre-apocalyptic shutdown. I wanna goddamn koobideh on rice.

>>13846646
Pls r8

>>13846311
>why is it Iranian?
Because Hebrews in the broadcast industry have been demonizing Muslims since the 60's.

>>13847270
>Because Hebrews in the broadcast industry have been demonizing Muslims since the 60's.
Every ethnicity, and religion had been accurately demonizing the Muslims since the religion was invented.

>>13847279
t.Hebrew

>>13847301
Or Christian, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Hindi, Sihk, or just breathing, and coherent.

>>13847311
t.Hebrew...again.

It's some of the least aesthetically pleasing food. Fesenjoon looks like diarrhea. Lot of orange/brown/dark green liquids. Hard to sell to people when first barrier to entry is looking appealing.

Sumac is the GOAT spice. I put it on everything, from meats to veggies to pizza. Might try putting a dash in my coffee next.

>>13847330
Could be any religion desu. Muslims pissed everyone off you know.

>>13847370

For me its geimeh polo and tahdig (crispy rice)

>>13847451
tfw allergic to most beans and lentils. Not sure if I'm fine with yellow split pea but

>Tadeek
>White rice
>Beef Kobedeh/Kabob
>Safron/Somah

One of the best dishes.

Most moosir with lavash bread is one of the most delicious foods I've ever eaten despite being so simple. I tried making it at home and it never came out quite right. Turns out the type of shallot used isnt the normal kind you get at the store but this dried wild shallot. I got a pack and it comes out like the restaurants.

>>13846311
Iranian food is some of the most flavorful I've ever had. My personal favorite is ghormeh sabzi

>>13846311
My Iranian friend brought some food from home during college once and it was divine, let allah bless Iran's cooks

>>13847557
>no durood for Allah swt
Punish yourself.

>>13846311
I heard altar candy is the latest food fad there.

>>13846311
Been to a couple of big Iranian Christmas gatherings in Britbongistan, they're real friendly and the food is pretty great. Sound lads, all told.

>>13847379
This.

>>13847397
(((They))) don't know.

>>13846311
>Iranian
>Not Persian
Anon.....

>>13848348
Persian is a specific ethnic group in Iran.

>>13846482
What's the original version of shakshuka? I'd like to find a recipe to try out.

>>13848411
Maybe Tunisian, or my bet would be Syrian from allepo version would be the original since the tomato was introduced to the region through Aleppo by a British man 1799-1824, and allepo had the tomato 40 years to themselves.

My family used to be friends with an Iranian family, and my friend's grandmother made two incredible deserts: some sort of rosewater-soaked cake and dense, brown cookies that tasted strongly of cardamom, perhaps made with gram flour. Does anybody know what these are? I'm dying to have them all these years later, especially the cardamom cookies.

>>13848443
>rosewater cake
Baklava is the only thing I can think of, and the only "cookies" I know from the region are sesame crackers.

>>13848359
Actually, Iran and Persia are synonymous: Iranians are Persians. "Persia" was the de facto name for Iran in the west until sometime in the 20th century. The term "persian food" is usually more common in western countries where Iranian expats usually try not to evoke the negative connotations of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Both terms accurately describe the OP's pic.

>>13848359
Iran is a de jure Persian state.

>>13848443
Were the cookies those diamond shaped ones made with almond flour?

>>13848467
>The term "persian food" is usually more common in western countries where Iranian expats usually try not to evoke the negative connotations of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Iranians in western countries are mostly Christians who fled Iran, so the word Iran, and Iranians in the West aren't stigmatized, or generally associated with modern day "Islamic Iran".

>>13848443
Sesame crackers with almonds?

>>13848467
Persia is an exonym so using "Persian" to mean Iranian is inherently inaccurate. Persians are a specific ethnic group. Azeris, Turkamans, Lors, Arabs, Armenians, Kurds, Balochis, etc are not Persian despite being Iranian.

>>13848474
The supreme leader is Azeri so it's irrelevant in practice.

>>13848457
>>13848480
They weren't shaped like traditional American cookies, more like meringues but rounded/without the spiral shape if that makes sense.
>>13848477
There were diamond shaped ones, but iirc these were circular and small.

>>13848548
Koloocheh?

>>13848558
I don't think so, but close- but they were stamped on top; these were very dense and smaller from what I remember.

>>13848584
I think they were nokhodchi, but the ones I ate were darker according to my memory. I guess I'll have to make some and find out.

>>13848548
Was I right with the baklava, or is it something else?

>>13848584
There's the more cookielike koloocheh and the more breadlike version.

>>13848599
It was definitely something else; I think it was Samali. I wish I knew for sure because that shit was like crack to me

>>13848619
That's how I am with baklava, and sesame cookies. Pretty much why I mentioned them. I was genuinely trying to help though.

>>13848634
>I was genuinely trying to help though.
Thanks anon, you ended up giving me new sweets to try!

>>13848443
I believe you're referring to rolette cake. Shit is fucking amazing

For me it's joojeh kabob

>>13848716
It was much more simple looking than that (just cake and rose water, maybe some nuts on top) but wow that looks incredible. Are Iranians the masters of dessert?

>>13846642
It's easy to make, highly adaptable. In other words it's awesome.

My life will never be the same after discovering this and other hidden gems of georgian cuisine.

>>13850046
Yeah this is the king of Persian desserts. Its basically just a moist cake with rosewater and whipped cream

>>13846566
>whom
I know you didn’t pass yeshiva with grammar like this

laos,
I had a chef friend tell me a lot of thai cuisine is in fact laos, just they name their restaurant thai because people are more familiar with thai

>>13850064
Its a shitty chili.

>>13851770
True. Lao food aroi mak

>>13848619
Was it something like this? Based on your description I suspect it was Masghati

what are some good dishes and foundations to start learning?

also best rice dish please I has a lot of fuckin rice

Think I might try making nokhodchi tonight
>>13851932
That looks amazing, but what I'm thinking of definitely had some sort of flour or grain as the base. It was drenched in either sweetened rose water or rose water syrup.

>>13846311
iraq

as fucked up as iran is iraq has to be 100 times worse

wtf is iraq cuisine?

>>13851932
>baklava

>>13851992
I'll see that and raise you Anne

>>13851950
Probably adas polo or baghali polo. I love the latter with mahiche (lamb)

>>13850198
this sauce reminds me HP

>>13846311
Two reasons: It's very good and Iranian culture is not well known because Iran is isolated.
