    I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the Iranian food! It's honestly a shock to me, who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with its sizable Iranian population, that we haven't whipped up a DIY kit like this here! To be fair if you're Iranian you'll often cook and eat home food (which, as I've commented before, is immensely diverse and you should definitely check it out more), but kabobs usually require a grill or barbecue and quite a bit of hassle to accomplish at home, so we usually get takeaway from the nearest Persian restaurant if we want some. An interesting fact, though, is that Iran doesn't really have a restaurant culture - 90% of restaurants there serve the same food (kabobs, stews, rice, etc.), with some regional variation, and there is a dearth of restaurants serving non-Iranian, non-fast food in the country. There is an impressive amount of culinary diversity throughout the whole region, but most of it is inside the home and the recipes are passed down through families, so you don't really see it reflected in the restaurants. 2nd fun fact: "Berenjak" means "little rice" in Persian!

    Jamie sold that well, but there's zero chance I'll ever spend £135 on a kit lol. I'd rather have five of the kebab meals so I get five great dinners on five separate occasions. But like Mike said, if you can afford it, it sounds like an amazing meal

      I'd usually agree wholeheartedly. But when I think about birthday dinners I've done with family and friends where one person picks up the check at a decent sit-down restraunt it equals to something similar to that. Especially if you factor in that it was a 3 course meal, a whole bottle of wine, sides, etc. If it were an anniversary, date night, or even I got a nice bonus at work and want to treat someone I clukd see myself doing this. A once in a blue moon, whereas I clukd order the kebab kit like once a month

    Jamie and Barry have a dynamic, but I love the dynamic between Mike and Ben. Mike just lets Ben be Ben and laughs, but not in a mean way. He laughs in a "ahhh this is my friend" way. Barry and Ben, while they are the best of friends, Its a love-hate thing, lotta tension. Jamie and Ben is just snacking and innuendos, lol. Which is great. Mike and Jamie are a brothers dynamic. They compete and get in to trouble when left to their own devices. Mike and Barry? Chill vibe with a dash of arty and a sprinkle of pretentious.

In terms of whether I shall get one - I have a birthday coming up, but it's not a big birthday (so perhaps not the Hawksmoor!), and my husband does rather like cooking if it is spelt out for him step by step.... I'm not just that fussed on the chicken (although those sides look a-MAZ-ing), so I reckon we'd go for the kebabs. in fact, I suspect we might well!
