I first heard about salam khurshid from my friend Kamran. He was visiting Tehran, Iran with his family, and we were both amazed by the unique dishes in the city. One of the dishes they tried was called “chicken salad.” Kamran explained that it was a combination of salad, chicken, and rice. The dish was so popular that people were making it for dinner at the end of every meal.
The dish is very simple, but I was able to spot the original creator, a guy named Dr. Salah-e Khurshid, in the video below. I also found the video to be surprisingly well done and interesting. Khurshid is a doctor who created some of the most popular recipes in the Middle East, as well as a number of his own. A lot of his recipes are extremely simple, but some of his dishes are quite complicated.
Khurshid’s recipes are a bit of a mystery. It’s hard to find even the most basic recipes even online. I did find a little bit though.
The original creator was a fellow with the “New York Institute for the Study of Religion” (now the “Interdisciplinary Center of Religion and World Studies”) and one of the most influential theologians of the time. His name was Dr. Salah, but he wasn’t actually a Christian. He was a Muslim, a Jewish, and a Muslim-style Christian.
For a while he was a vegetarian and a vegan. The last time I saw him in person I was at a local McDonald’s, trying to make up for the fact that I had to fight the word “meat” to make it into a menu. I told him he’d be out of town for a couple of years, but I was like, “What are you talking about?” And he went off to eat all of the meals I had.
We were surprised to find out that it’s a “good” thing. It’s not the same as eating meat. We’re not getting that from a vegan diet, but we are getting a lot of good advice from the people that I’ve worked with.
Well, that was a good thing, then, Salam, I guess. In fact, all the work we’ve done with these folks, its all of a piece. I mean, they’re not like the people who go to those big church services and pray for people to die. They’re not crazy. They’re just like anybody else who wants to make a difference. And I guess they have their own way to deal with their troubles.
Theyre not crazy, theyre just not as smart as you think. If I may say so, the biggest part of this whole business is not the meat. Thats the part that most of them dont know. The biggest part is just that its almost like weve done this before. Weve done it with the human race.
“They are not crazy,” theyre just not as smart as you think. The biggest part of this whole business is not the meat. The biggest part is just that its almost like weve done this before. Weve done it with the human race.
I’ve got my own idea about the best way to do this, and I know it depends on your mood. If you’re feeling a little more active, then maybe you’ll have more fun with it. I’d like to change the wording of this. I’m not planning on going to college to write this.
