/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I went to an Iranian restaurant the other day and felt completely out of place. The food was fucking glorious, so delicious! But I didn't know how to eat any of the stuff that was served to me. I would love to go back to the restaurant, the food was really outstanding, but I don't want to make a fool out of myself - again.

How does you eat Middle Eastern food?

I was served flatbread and a bowl full of herbs (mint, cilantro and something else I didn't recognise), nuts and a softish cheese (sort of like feta) as an appetzer, along with a bowl of very, very thick yogurt. For the main course, I got chicken thighs in pomegranate sauce along with a plate of yellow and white rice. I know different cultures eat rice in different ways. And, to be honest, I didn't know what the fuck to do with my appetizer. So, seriously, how does one eat Middle Eastern food!??!?!
