Klucheh Fuman...

Salaam,

Cruising back about 32 kilometers east from Masouleh, we arrived back in Fuman, a leafy junction town (or city rather) formerly known as Dar-al-Emareh, once capital of Gilan province. Nowadays it is one of the most developed cities of the province with amazing landscapes and numerous tourist attractions.

But what makes Fuman more popular among the many townships and cities in the province is its famous cookies known as "klucheh" or "kuleche." Klucheh Fuman as it is popularly known, is a typical Gilan cookies filled with walnut paste. It is available hot from the oven at the many bakeries around town. Dropping by at one of the bakeries nearby, each and everyone of us managed to grab a few boxes packed with ten klucheh each, enough to keep us full and through until our late supper for the rest of our 370 kilometers journey back to Tehran.

Wassalam...
