Persian Food with Stand Up Dan

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Beats have so much fun geeking out about Persian food with Dan Ahdoot, a comic actor/writer, and most recently, very first Persian with his own show on Primetime TV!  Dan will be the host of a new show that follows “Chopped” on the Food Network (first show airing on Dec. 28th) called “Raid the Fridge”.  Help us support Dan in what is sure to be a hit show - with Dan’s wit and energy, this is going to be a cooking show like no other.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Dan,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">doesn’t</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">like to eat in terms of Persian food:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Quince!  He doesn’t like the way it sounds in Farsi, “beh”... and he is not a fan of too much sweet mixed into his savory meals, specifically as in Khoresh eh Beh, Persian stew made with quince fruit</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">“Garagharoot”!  The most sour lavashak you can get, made from cooked down kashk.  In Dan’s terms, it’s sour in a weird, bovine way, resembling bile (!)</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Side note:  Dan is a huge fan of most Persian foods - an under-represented food cuisine with delicious flavors and a rich history, coming not from poverty but from royalty.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Dan, does like, and in fact, loves eating in terms of Persian food:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Essentially anything that consists of mashed up beans and meat (Dan has a type!), what he refers to as Persian truck driver food.  Dan loves the expression “meechaspeh” which is used to describe rib sticking comfort foods and literally is translated from Farsi as meaning “sticking”.</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Dizi/ Deezi - Ab Ghousht</span></li> <li style="lis
