Iranians were making ice in the desert over 2,000 years ago using ancient refrigerators. 'Faloudeh' exists as a frozen dessert because of this.

My mom would get us faloodeh/paloodeh from the local shops in Shiraz. Always a nice treat especially in the dry hot summers of Shiraz.

An they are surprised by out underground missile cities.. qanat was a complicated underground network of big tunnels in some you could have fit missiles:)

You can watch the full episode here

Indians eat this too. Of course they got it from the Persians during Mughal rule.

Ya !!? The Iranians invented the cucumber and Tomato!!🤔

Ancient refrigerators?😂 It's ice and snow from the mountains. We had that in Lebanon thousands of years ago. And we still enjoy fresh snow with syrup or juice on it.

You clearly did not watch the video

@BrokeUnion It exploited a natural phenomena, nothing amazing. Romans did the same thing.

@propandco The natural phenomenon is winter season in mountains with ice and snow... so he calls that an ancient refrigerator 😂

@__FToni @propandco Yakhchāl It was often used to store ice, but sometimes was used to store food as well as produce ice. The subterranean space and thick heat-resistant construction ... So like I said they used the ice and snow from winter time and stored it in these yakhass ... so it wasn't made

The Pakistani version of Faloodah is more iconic than the one youre eating bro. And most definitely better.

Would love to try

I'm so ashamed nobody told me ANYTHING about Iran. In the great western (French) educational system. Seriously, NO-THING. And now I have to learn it all by myself ; I guess that's what a good education is @s_m_marandi

Iran on my bucket list In Sha Allah

Brother is out there enjoying ice cream and throwing the middle finger (thumbs up) 😂 you have to tone down your 👍 in Iran, I learnt the hard way when I was visiting years ago 😅

I am from Pakistan, but sheraz is my ancestral land. I including my whole family and relatives here are known with the sir name , "sherazi" here. Like my name is syed Sheharyaar Haider Sherazi . I guess Sheharyaar is also a persian name.

Well Americans are not known for their long History or their well educated population, their leader is kind of a meme for USA, they all are but this last two 🤦♂️ They are in a weird (un)cultural bubble.

A kurd and a sunni who supports iran and enjoys falouda. You are an exceptional case 😄

You should try the Akbar Mashty ice cream next!

Faludé Shirazí.. 2 mistakes

We really need a competition...

We call it Faloodah فالودہ in Pakistan.

And sherbert which became sorbet. They used to get raw ice from the mountains and crush it up with fruit. Yuck! Can you image drinking dirty ice from mountains!

فالوده رو به غیر ایرانی ها پیشنهاد نمیکنم بستنی سنتی عادی پسته ای خیلی بهتره فالوده با ذائقه خیلی از خود ایرانی ها هم نمیخونه چه برسه به خارجی ها

@_jenkings Uhhh there were no Iranians then. They were Persians. Persians then, Persians now.

Wow!!!!!

@_rathbone That’s my favorite. It’s very popular amongst East Asians

And now they can’t even run a basic economy, how the mighty have fallen

I feel like your not a dessert person.

No, they were not.

But they didn't invent unfortunately

falooda is an amazing dish in pak-ind too

I had this and it was yummy but definitely an acquired taste if that makes any sense 😆

@GeromanAT And then came Islam…

**Persians

This is like my favourite ever dessert

I tried, It's all fake aroma and colorings

While they sat on the greatest energy source known to man - which they did sweet FA with 🤡🤣
