u/flaringflame ....there's a weird smell Jun 12 '15

I can answer the stereotypes for you:

  • We all love BMW's

  • We all say we are PERRRRRRRRRRRRRSIAN

  • Our parents expect us to: Become a doctor/lawyer or engineer, open a bank, and become the president of the USA.

  • Our parents are overwhelmingly cautious

  • Any job other than Doctor/Lawyer/Engineer is considered equivalent to a janitor, unless you have a PhD in it.

  • We have yellow cake with Chai for Dessert.

  • Hairy chest and thick moustache or beard

  • Our only favourite foreign song is Modern Talking.

Iranian food is as delicious as Italian, I think. The first food I tried was Ghormeh Sabzi and I fell in love with it, and this dish is the most popular one I guess. I cooked Ghormeh Sabzi and Fesenjan myself, which came out very good. You can try it yourself. There are many recipes online. You need to cook the rice separately too.
