In Iran you find mosaics basically everywhere. The ones that fascinate me the most were those glittering mirrored mosaics.

Last month when I was in Lisbon for the SteemFest, I spared some time for a ride on the famous historic tram 28. After realizing how much I loved the best old days, I went on a tour the other day in the tram museum in Brussels, to discover more about the trams in the past days. I like travelling with trams and have done it in many European cities. We don’t have that many trams in China nowadays any more like in Europe, which makes me love the trams even more.
Dizi is a popular highlight of Persian cuisine. It’s unique, delicious, and fun to eat. They say the best dizi is in Tehran area but I was eating it every city I went to. It has been my favorite Iranian food. Today I’d like to introduce this interesting dish to you. Hopefully you can find it in one of those Iranian restaurants in your city and maybe give it a try one day.
Dizi is traditionally cooked in a stone pot or a metal pot, it is usually made with lamb, chickpeas, white beans, onion, potatoes, and tomatoes, turmeric, and dried lime nowadays. However back hundreds of years ago, it was only made of lamb and chickpeas, plus herbs, without any other vegetables. The most interesting part was how you eat it.
