Re: Happy Ramadhan!!
Ah, the correct name for the end-of-Ramadhan celebration you're wondering about is Eid-Ul-Fitr, or as we Malaysians call it, Aidilfitri or Hari Lebaran (much easier to pronounce). Over here we usually celebrate it by going back to our jungle/plantation villages and lighting up oil lamps when it's dark, so it's kinda interesting to see what Muslims elsewhere would do during this time of the year.
And it's nice to hear that you've been invited to a few fast-breaking meals. I hope the spiciness of the food didn't upset your stomach (are Arabian foods usually spicy? I've haven't been to the Middle East in quite a while now).
Wait, back to the topic! I'm a bit busy with my internet tabs but I WILL search for your "World's Best Cake!!!" That, and looking up on Judeo-Christian foods. As for the Rice Porridge, I think I've got an idea on how filling eating that stuff could be (tip: don't eat all the pastries on the table if you're going on a relative-visiting spree. Your stomach will regret it).
Thanks for the wish, and I hope you'll be able to attend more fast-breaking feasts!
P.S: Wait a sec, back home? I thought you were Norwegian, or are you currently away from it?
P.P.S: What kind of children's movie?
Re: Happy Ramadhan!!
Oh, that sounds nice! When I was with a Bosnian family they ate this soup thing with beans (which was surprisingly good, especially as I don't like beans) and some kind of meat I think? It's been some years, I think they just spent the whole day at home, the Mosque in my county is a bit far away so I don't think they went there at all during the celebrations, though they celebrate Ramadan like I celebrate Christmas, because it is what they grew up with. I am pretty sure none of them actually fasted. I also been with an Middle Eastern Family (Afghanistan), and the food was waay to spicy for me, but there was some bread and chicken which I could eat which was delicious, though that was just random days during Ramadan, so I have no idea what they did for Eid-Ul-Fitr. Let's see then I was at my neighbours whom was African (I'm not quite sure where exactly they where from) and again ate chicken.
My best friend is Somalian, and if I remember correctly he goes to the nearest town where the Mosque is and also a community centre for Somalians and they celebrate together, and that is the part where they invite non-Muslim friends, which I was planning to go to this year if I am in the right county.
I did a quick search there was no easy way to find anything not in Norwegian here is a link to a picture of the cake: http://www.sweets2share.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/verdens-beste-Kv%C3%A6fjordkake-03201-Large.jpg
Juedo-Christian, I am not familiar with that term, Norwegians are at large Lutheran Christian if that is what you where looking for, and that is what I officially am (in the books and everything, on account of being baptised as a child), here is a link to a shortish explanation of Christmas Traditions in Norway: http://www.visitoslo.com/en/articles/christmas-traditions/
Rice Porridge is the most filling thing on the planet! Seriously, and then you are hungry again 2 hours later, luckily an hour after that we eat the main meal so you will be nice and full again, before you know 2 hours after that we eat cakes... Yeah traditionally you are supposed to bake 7 different kinds of pastries...
I do too, I love celebrating things that I am not used to! (did that come out wrong? I meant it in a positive way, not in a degrading way)
I live a couple of counties away from my home county right now, so back home is an 6 hour train ride away.
The film is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%99i_o%C5%99%C3%AD%C5%A1ky_pro_Popelku did I mention it is dubbed? Oh and we ignoring all logic watch this on the 23d of December: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinner_for_One
If you are interested in what else we watch, it is mostly Die Hard, Harry Potter and this Norwegian animated film which is just great! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinchcliffe_Grand_Prix and cartoons, lots of lots of cartoons. Lately though on account of me being a "proper adult" I mostly spend my Christmas in the kitchen helping out with the food during Christmas Eve or helping to clean the houses (big family, last year I cleaned 3 different houes), oh and decorating and getting the tables ready for serving food and stuff... Which is quite nice, but it takes a lot out of you.
