For nine years, the neighborhood of El Matareya in Cairo, Egypt, has been hosting one of Egypt's largest iftars, the evening meal eaten to break the fast during Ramadan.
On the 15th day of Ramadan, 200 volunteers from El Matareya help cook the food in the streets and in their homes.
In the streets, chicken and rice are cooked on grills, and in homes, dishes like mahshi and kebab halla are made by hand.
All of the food is served on 500 tables that stretch a kilometer down the road.
The event has become so popular that people from other neighborhoods stop by to enjoy the festivities and get a free meal.

“But this time I don’t put in a lot of spice, because some people don’t like it and I don’t want to hurt them.” The look on her face made me chuckle. Such a wonderful person.

Um is not her first name, it's more of a honorific title given to her on the count of her first born child Mustafa, so Um Mustafa in shorts means "Mother of Mustafa ".

@mamamiaherewegoagain6959 11 месяцев назад

Well, coming from a muslim who prepares the food for iftar for their family, when you're preparing it you don't really notice the hunger. Really the only unfortunate thing is not being able to taste the food as you prepare it, and being unsure whether it tastes good. so you really need to know the recipes by heart. Actually that goes for all activities. When you're fasting you don't really notice the hunger unless you're not doing anything. Aside from fasting, ramadhan is a time for prayer, reflection, family, and charity, so if you're practicing it fully there's really no time or chance to feel the hunger.

@Tortall2012 Год назад

I’m not Muslim so I don’t know if it would be allowed (or appropriate) but when the chef commented that the hardest part was making the meal while fasting because he isn’t able to taste it. My immediate thought was what if they had a member of a different religious community taste the food as it is cooked so the chefs are able to make sure it is properly seasoned. As I mentioned before I am not Muslim and I know very little about what goes into meal preparation for breaking the fast for Ramadan, so this idea is from an outsider perspective.
