I’m a Luddite, but this is such a great episode.
I watched it when it first aired.

I just posted it under Travel Forum since it is from a Facebook link (not available for free on YouTube) and I don't do social media. I hope it is viewable via the link.

I can't watch most food shows from the Middle East since they make me sooooooo hungry!

I visited Iran in the 1960-1970’s, and it brought back good memories.

To think the plan is to wipe this civilization off the face of the earth is just ignorance and I’ll bet TSF and his team do not know half of the information about Iran that was given in this video. I’m even more against this invasion than I was an hour ago..if that was even possible but that’s how I feel now
