Last Friday was a holiday in Tunisia, known as Mouled. This is the birthday of the prophet Mohammed and its traditional for people to cook a delicious desert that they share with their family and friends, to celebrate the occassion. The desert is called acida, and is served in bowls and decorated with nuts , sugared almonds and silver balls.

Ramadan is the Holy month for Muslims throughout the world. During Ramadan, a complete fast is observed from sunrise to sunset, each day for 30 days.During the fasting hours,Muslims do not eat, drink or smoke.The dates for Ramadan move earlier each year by about 10 days. In 2010 Ramadan is expected to begin on 11 August. During Ramadan, cafes and restaurants are usually closed during the fasting hours, and will open only in the evenings. The exception to this will be cafes and restaurants in tourist areas, which generally remain open. It is respectful to not eat and drink outdoors in Ramadan during the fasting hours It is customary for families to enjoy a huge meal together in the evening on completing each day of fasting and there is a great atmosphere and the cafes become lively. It is very difficult to observe Ramadan in the hot summer months, and visitors should be aware of this and respectful to local people. The end of ramadan is celebrated by L'Aiid which is a festival equivalent to Christmas for Christians Kerkennah 'The forgotten Paradise' 01/27/2010
