The very real consequences of not answering this question are playing out around the world and perhaps in a neighborhood near you

Just from me not answering a question on an internet forum ?

Perhaps a diazepam or two is in order

Mmmm koubideh and Persian cucumbers! I don’t know about you but I’m glad they set up shop close to my home.

The kitchen, led by Rose Market's longtime Iranian chef, is again churning out kebabs, koubideh, khoresh (stews), tahdig (crispy-bottomed rice), wraps, salads and other dishes. Rose International Market will now serve chicken koubideh, a kebab made from ground chicken, onion and spices, which customers had often requested at the old store, according to staff. 

You can order kebabs with lavash bread, on top of white basmati rice or as a "super sandwich," wrapped with vegetables, onion and tomato. All meats are halal.

The produce section includes both standard and specialty produce, such as Persian cucumbers, sour cherries (when in season) and green almonds.

A sense of community and pride in one’s tradition is a stabilizing force. There are ex-patriot ethnic groups that happen to be Muslim, thinking of the Iranians in particular, with their own larger culture and history, and enrich the experience of living in America. The call to literal Jihad is the furthest thing from their mind. Mmmm koubideh and Persian cucumbers! I don’t know about you but I’m glad they set up shop close to my home.
