Iran Cuisine (II)

In Iran, food is believed to be a blessing from God, and disrespecting the food is equivalent to disrespecting the Creator. The dining table is revered as a place where family members spend three times a day interacting with each other. Food and tablecloths (in the old times people used to sit around tablecloth placed on the ground. Some still do) are highly valued in Iranian food culture, and eating alone is a form of disrespect to family members and a sign of poor family relationships.

Iran Cuisine (I)

Traditional foods are those foods that have been consumed in a country for a long time and have been passed down from generation to generation. The concept of food culture is much more complicated than what you see on a plate. Food operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring the food of their countries with them wherever they go and cooking traditional food is a way of preserving their culture when they move to new places. Food is an inseparable part of their cultural heritage.

North Of Iran Food And Cuisine

Everything in the north of Iran is made of rice, even Traditional Sweets. For food, rice is cooked in the form of “Polo (pilaf)”, “Chelo”, and “Kateh”. In the not-so-distant past, bread was a sign of wealth on the table of the northerners. it was only served at official ceremonies and gatherings while in other parts of Iran, bread was more common; and it’s been only a few decades since rice has found its way into the daily table of the people. One of the main ingredients of northerners’ meals is garlic. The good news is, in the north garlic loses its bad smell quickly after eating due to high humidity and is not annoying at all. In other regions, on the other hand, you have to chew gum or cinnamon to fight its odor.

The digest of revolving through the history of Persian Cuisine

There is not much left from the Cuisine Culture of the pre-Islamic Iran, and what remains is dedicated to the court of kings and nobles. One of the best remnants is "the Bronze Cup of Arjan" which illustrates the cuisine culture and customs during the different periods. For instance, the book of Altaj is about the life of the kings and the way they ruled the country, but there is a part in a book that belongs to how they had served the food for the court and the culture and customs of celebration in the Sassanid era. The book proves that the culture of Iran remains valuable at least until the fourth and fifth centuries after Islam.
