Interesting. I have also eaten quite a bit of Persian food, both with and
without the company of people from Iran, and seen several Persian
cookbooks, and as far as I recall, I've gotten no clues that chiles are
used at all in normal Persian food. I don't recall detecting chiles in any
Afghani food either, but I only know this cuisine from restaurants in USA
so it is easily possible the chile content in that food got adjusted below
detection limit, as not infrequently happens in restaurants in USA.
