Many Muslims around the world are celebrating Eid today. Simplest way to describe it would be Christmas in terms on festivities. However, this is not a religion thread, but a feast thread!
Most religious festivities have food at its centre of celebration (amongst prayers, family, gifts, charity etc). So me question are:
1) if you are doing eid today what you eating?
2) if you have a faith, what did you eat at your last festivity dinner?
3) if you have no faith, do you have any big events where you might gather and have a feast? If so, what do you eat?
Naturally, I'm going to stuff my face, go into food comatose and then game for the rest of the day.
My step mom has made:
Chinese rice
dizzy (African dish where the banana is used as a carb instead of potato and it has a thick coconut gravy with red and green chillies).
I'm making a slow roast leg of lamb with onions, olives and tomatoes
Salad with a homemade dressing
southern fried chicken and chips.
There are also a few desserts:
Kulfi (Pakistani / Indian ice cream, which is usually creamier and has crushed pistachios and almonds).
Ghulab jaman (a sweet dumpling in a sugar syrup). We serve this hot with ice cream.
Kheer - it's basically vermicelli which is fried in a bit of clarified butter with sugar, raising and almonds and then mixed into warm milk, garnished with saffron.
Cheesecake (I think everyone knows what this is lol)
