Gosh-e fil and doogh

edit

The city of Isfahan is one of the prominent cities of Iran, known as the city of delicious sweets,[citation needed] in which gosh-e fil is eaten with a combination of local doogh (a combination of water and sour yogurt). This combination has long been rooted in the food culture of the local people and continues to this day. [5] [6]
