Two Persians in a PodFolge 49: Die Besonderheiten der persischen KücheDer Iran hat viele kulturelle Facetten, aber einen Baustein, den kann man IMMER dazu zählen: Essen. In jedem Mehmooni, jeder Verabredung und jeder Familie ist das große Essen am Abend ein riesen Thema. Viel zu oft wird die iranische Küche mit anderen Kulturen gleichgesetzt. Dabei ist sie wirklich einzigartig.
