This is a picture from Ali Koochek's birthday party in Abadan, around 1970. As Ali and another friend were fooling around, I took full advantage of the situation by poking my finger into the cake and tasting the frosting before anyone else.

This terrible habit continues to this day. If I see free food, I attack. But free food is not easy to find. And running iranian.com takes a lot of energy.

Support iranian.com. It's food for thought.

Sincerely,

Jahanshah Javid
