okay question: how did you imagine the dish abigail and magnus served at their anniversary dinner?
what food is this. i ask myself this on every reread what food is this.
because i am who i am, i of course imagined it as something like zereshk polo,
rice (white and fluffy boiled grain) with barberries (tiny tart fruits) and topped with pistachios (chopped nuts)
@mxsiralot oh my god how did i not consider jeweled rice. of course its jeweled rice. all the same elements as zereshk polo but also can have carrots orange peel raisins almonds and most importantly can be garnished with pomegranate seeds which are specifically mentioned in the same scene.
and! jeweled rice is typically served at special occasions, such as weddings! ty ive decided that Abigail and magnus served jeweled rice at their anniversary dinner. send tweet.
