	Tigers & Strawberries » Persian Cherry Pilaf
		Persian cuisine is an ancient one that is more familiar than one might think; if you have eaten in a typical Indian restaurant in the United States which serves Northern Indian food, you have eaten dishes which have their roots in Persia.
		The Persians conquered the lands of Northern India in the sixteenth century, and brought their language, customs, clothing, architecture, music and most importantly as far as I am concerned, their food.
		Most of my knowledge of Persian food is indeed “reverse engineered” from my study of the foods of Northern India, but I have had experience with Persians and Persian dishes for much of my life.

	The Center for Persian Studies ::
		Persian (Iranian) people in the English-speaking countries are the only community who use two different terms to refer to their language, "Farsi" and "Persian." This behavior has caused some confusion among the Westerners as to the appropriateness of these terms.
		But many Persians migrating to the West (particularly to the USA) after the 1979 revolution continued to use 'Farsi' to identify their language in English and the word became commonplace in English-speaking countries.
		However, the difference between the Persian spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, or Tajikistan is not significant and substantial enough to warrant such a distinction and classification.
