Back in the 80's I asked a gas attendent in Yonkers where he was from. I love accents, and I was also curious because he was obviously scarred from small pox. He kept declining to tell me, saying "I wouldn't like it". I finally said: you must be from Iran, and he confirmed this and asked me why I was not heaping him with abuse. I said that I was aware of what little say I had in my government, and could only assume he had no more in his. And we shook hands conspiratorily. blacksalt Ob food: snack: spinach tortilla, warmed, smeared with very smokey (both grilled and sprinkled with smoked paprika) babaganoush, rolled up.
