I think the reason our son loved it so is because it is often taken with a lump of rock sugar clenched between the back molars. A dental nightmare for sure!smilla4blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516736514127098070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-14691527877232168382010-06-19T07:29:30.296-04:002010-06-19T07:29:30.296-04:00I know that tea, having had Persian friends for ye...I know that tea, having had Persian friends for years, and also the small vials of attar of roses that seem to appear as spontaneous, friendly presents. I love the scent of roses but cannot stand the tea (it always seemed to contain bergamot . A pity really as there's always a significance to drinking tea - in Montreal with friends there was always gaz to accompany tea served in those small saucered glasses, but in retrospect I wonder if it was there because I loved it so much. And the rose-flavoured, what the Brits call Turkish Delight!Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-39219694287087620842010-06-18T10:27:56.406-04:002010-06-18T10:27:56.406-04:00Barbara, Iran's climate is perfect for roses a...Barbara, Iran's climate is perfect for roses and they are everywhere and, of course, rose water is used in their ice cream and sweets. I loved the walled gardens and their blissful peace after the dust, chaos of the streets and traffic. Many had fountains because the sound of running water is beloved in Iran and all had roses and many other fragrant flowering plants.smilla4blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516736514127098070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756273176170576516.post-6070335485772612202010-06-18T10:16:21.568-04:002010-06-18T10:16:21.568-04:00I would so love to see the school garden with the ...I would so love to see the school garden with the lush roses.
