Breakfast: سرشیر و عسل (Sarshir o Asal) – Clotted Cream and Honey

Breakfast سرشیر و عسل is a luxurious pairing of thick clotted cream (sarshir) and golden honey, served with warm flatbread. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn how to source or make sarshir and pair it with regional honeys.

This dish is a countryside delicacy, often served to guests as a gesture of hospitality. The saying “سرشیر و عسل، صبحی مثل عسل” (“Sarshir and honey, a morning like honey”) reflects its indulgent sweetness. We explore its role in rural breakfasts and festive mornings.
