Allll...mmmoost there....Ramadan coming to a close by week's end, time for Eid treats
"For some, it’s sweet vermicelli pudding. For others, it’s semolina biscuits. Still others dive into a full-blown feast of curries and cakes. The food may differ, but one thing’s the same: it signifies the end of fasting...
There’s no specific foods that you eat on Eid,” says Sana Siddiqui, acting president of the Muslim Students Association of Simon Fraser University. “It’s the fact that you can eat during the day that’s exciting.” As she explains, “We’ve limited ourselves in our consuming of food during Ramadan, because we can only eat before sunrise or after sunset. On Eid, because food is permissible again, we want to celebrate with food.”
