Actually the way they eat is to put the curry 4-5 teaspon with a few pieces of chicken and put in on the plate of rice.

Rice is the main dish...others are side dishes. :happy:

tasty side dishes because to be honest i would not eat the rice alone. And the pappadam are potato chips :?

More traditional Moroccan:

harira

Harira is the thick, lemony, spicy soup which is often eaten in Morocco to break the day-long fast during Ramadan. There are endless different recipes for it, but almost all include lamb, lentils, tomato, lemon and spices, and many also use chick peas, saffron and vermicelli.

I do not have a picture of this. Keep in mind the Berbers in Morocco often eat as an entire Tribe or Village. So this is not as big as it seems. It is not unusual for several hundred people to eat together. I had this once in Meknes. It is actually very good and the way it is served is very impressive.

Although I can not find a picture of the whole thing. The typical serving looks like this:

Whole Stuffed Camel

1 whole camel, medium size
1 whole lamb, large size
20 whole chickens, medium size
60 eggs

Whole stuffed camel?

Very traditional among the Berbers. Keep in mind they will eat as an entire village and it is only enough for one meal. It is usually served once during Ramadan. It is also traditional at weddings. The Berbers are quite interesting and very loving people. I had a very dear Berber friend in Morocco. That is were I first became aware of the truly peaceful nature of Muslims.

I just realized that although I will not have any pictures of home made food I can post some traditional Ramadan Food pictures from various countries I have lived in.

My favorite will always be Morocco:

lol! good question

 

[Woodrow]

lol! good question

I believe that is a fairly new idea. When I had that in Meknes the Camel was not boiled first. It was just roaster over hot coals for about 3 days. I recall that it took nearly a week for them to prepare it.
