What is the Muslim equivalent to the British Sunday Roast?!
am working on a cultures essay for my Humanities class and I chose to compare British culture with Muslim, one I know a lot about and one I don't!. I've already written about all the restrictions and gone into detail about Ramadan but I need to give an example of a traditional Muslim meal and as I did the British Sunday roast I though I should write about the Islamic equivalent only I don't know what that is and I can't find it on google!. Can someone help!?

That would vary from county to country as the Muslim countries spread from the Atlantic Ocean in the West, to Indonesia in the east!.
So what is traditional in Morocco is going to be different to that in Iraq, India, Indonesia etc!.
Islamic culture is spread as a religion!.
British culture was spread by colonisation, so that a traditional British Sunday Roast has travelled and adapted accordingly!.
A Traditional British Roast is Beef!. (I checked)
Here in New Zealand it is Lamb, so the roast has adapted to suit us, but still follows the tradition!.
No doubt other ex colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, and even parts of India where British traditions still exist!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I believe it is not that easy to talk about a single traditional Muslim dish because Muslim societies differ a lot, I mean there are lots of differences between the cuisines and customs of Arabic, North African, Iranian, Malaysian or Pakistani Muslims!. You may want to make comparisons on the country basis instead, like what is the Pakistani or Moroccan or Iranian equivalent of xyz dish!.!.!.
If I were you, I would ask the same question on the Ramadan section and see what they will say!.
Good luck on your essay!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well!.!.!.!.i fell like you are comparing religion and nationality!.there isn't really the equivalent british sunday roast because a muslim who is also british can have a sunday roast just as long as all the ingredients are halal!.so i think you better rethink your approach on that matter!.hope that helpsWww@FoodAQ@Com
