Craving Ramadan Food

Ramadan looks a lot different this year due to the curfew and social gathering restrictions. We probably won’t be joining any friends in their iftar meals so I’ll just be reminiscing about last year’s food…
::
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunup to sundown (no food or water) and they break their fast each day with what is called an iftar meal together with family and friends.
::
At the meals we’ve attended, they usually start by eating a couple dates with some water, then lentil soup followed by sambousek (savory, fried pastries), rice, seasoned meats, and sweets. It’s a very celebratory, community-oriented affair and the food is delicious. 😋
