In Iran, if you say your 'heart melted' for someone's food, they are culturally obligated to offer you some. This is part of 'Ta'arof'. Street vendors often use the visual of their food to 'melt the hearts' of passersby. It is common to see people openly admiring the displays. The concept of the heart melting is a centuries-old poetic trope used to describe the effect of a beloved's beauty.
