It was at a restaurant somewhere in Seattle. A friend of my uncle's owned the place, and we went there for a meal after a day of shopping. He was so happy to see us, he brought out this huge, circular platter with this delicious saffron rice, and various grilled meats (chicken, beef, lamb and goat IIRC). That rice was so delicious and filling.....you could literally have that as a meal, and not be disappointed. I swear, I literally used to dream about that rice. The saffron in it was like an orgasm in my mouth. The grilled meat was like a side dish, compared to the rice (although it was very delicious in its own right). It's my only meal I've ever had where I enjoyed the rice over the meat.
Damn, I need to go back one day. And I made myself hungry :(
