As with my post on June 24th, and 29th , this Post, will be highlighting some more of the different parts of the wedding spread. All pictures are from the same spread, though more detailed pictures of each Item will follow later in the post.
This post continues with the edible Items, which consist of "Mulberries”[6], Feta Cheese and herbs rolled in bread [7], Assorted sweets [8], crystalized sugar bowl[9], and fruits [10].
The Mullberies [6], are actually almond-past (marzipan) shaped and rolled in sugar to look like mulberries. Coloring (natural or food coloring) is added at times, and pistatio slivers are stuck in the ends to represent the stems. The also represent sweetness in the life of the couple, and are shared with guests.
The Feta cheese and Herbs Rolled in a flatbread [7] (Naan-o-Panir-o-Sabzi) represent good healthy food, and is a staple of Persians. In this case, there’s a grape in each piece.
The other sweets[8] that are present on the spread may include Baklava, various cookies, and other pastries.
The Crystalized Sugar Bowl [9] (Kaas-e Nabaat) is again meant to bring sweetness into the couples
And finally, the Fruit Bowl [10] which not only represents healthy food, but certain fruits have their own special meanings. Particularly, Pomegranates are said to be the fruit of the heavens, and apples symbolize the creation of mankind. Other fruits are very common as well, especially grapes.
