Eid Breakfast Tradition.

,
Countries have traditions,cities too.
Families of Palestine are no exception. Men in this family,gather around a very early breakfast table, after doing their Eid prayers.
Very traditional dishes are served;Hoummos(Paste-like seasoned chick-peas),Foul,labaneh,Olives, Pickles,Omlettes, and the star of the show :Fseekh(preserved salted fish).
A decade ago, women used to be ready with their mid-day meal from as early as 8.00 or 9.00am, ready to welcome any guest/relative that knocks at their door .
Nowadays only older ladies do this,younger women are gradually withdrawing from such energy and time consuming social activities.(pity!)
