We recently had a great takeout meal of Persian food from Green Leaf Catering, 344 East Main Street, Clinton that included fesenjan, saffron chicken koobideh, kaleh kebab,and several other dips and pita bread. But the highlight of the meal for me was the ice cream. The tart cherry ice cream was delicious, as was the pomegranate, and the Persian lime ice cream. But my favorite was the saffron and rose ice cream, which had both an intense scent and flavor of rose. With more than 11 flavors, there are plenty of options for any ice cream lover.
