This video is about Iranian food and we're going local and we're going traditional. I went to Qom to  go on an epic food tour.   From the sweet treat, Sohan, to clay pot stew Dizi, local ice cream and koobideh kebab I had a mouthwatering experience.  Mix into this the unbelivable Iranian hospitality and kindness of people in Qom, plus epic Fatimeh Masoumeh shrine, complete with 270 kg of gold.. and I came away wanting more.  This video is the last in my Iran series and I think it captures the beauty of Iran perfectly as seen through local eyes.
