Appetizers:
Kuku Goleh Kalam ( Cauliflower Kuku) : A traditional Iranian appetizer typically served with dinner
Bread and Butter: A meal served to the American hostages, however it was a main course not an appetizer
Main Course:
Kebab : A traditional Iranian dish of skewered lamb or chicken flavored with lemon juice and onion and basted with saffron and butter
Fesenjan: An iconic and traditional Iranian dish that is a pomegranate and walnut stew.
Pigs in a Blanket: One of the few meal choices available to the American Hostages, many were concerned with the meat as pig does not fit into the muslim religion and is not typically available in Iran.
Dessert:
Faloodeh: A rosewater and lime noodle sorbet that is one of the earliest known frozen desserts, dating back to 400 BCE. It is made from vermicelli noodles and a sugary frozen syrup laced with sour flavors like cherries or lime.
Dates: The product of the Date Palm tree, the date fruit are rich in fibers and vitamins and are native to Iran and the middle east in general. Since the captors were students, they lacked the ability to maintain a food supply, so Dates were given to the hostages often as they are inexpensive and abundant. They were eaten very reluctantly and often with disgust and apprehension.
Drinks:
Alcohol is prohibited in Iran and the Islamic republic, so all beverages are non-alcoholic.
Aragh: A very popular flower essence beverage that often contains chia seeds.
Senkanjebin: One of the most famous middle-eastern drinks, also known as a Sherbet or fresh juice with fruit syrup.
Cold tea: Unfortunately, this was the beverage most commonly served to the hostages.
