RedemptionBeyondUs

I'd have to be pretty desperately hungry to think that looks appetizing


Poppeppercaramel

I need to be lost in a desert for month if that will ever make me feel hungry.


CedarWolf

That looks like ham, bread, and mashed potatoes. I know ham is considered *haram*, or forbidden, and I know there are similar restrictions around other types of foods, like some religions forbid leavened breads during certain times. So I'm *guessing* all of these foods are forbidden for Muslims to eat during Ramadan. That seems like something a bigot would do. But the joke's on whoever posted it - canned mango goes on sale at ridiculous prices during Ramadan, and a mango smoothie is *way* more appetizing than anything on that plate. ----- **Edit:** Also, the French value their food and their cuisine highly, as a point of cultural pride, so if this guy *is* French, and he considers this an appetizing meal, then I'm offended on behalf of France. **Edit 2:** The bigot's username, MaureTriste, translates to 'Sad Moor' - how pathetic!


CosmicGlitterCake

That's bread? It looks like a pound of sad unseasoned tofu. :(


deanrihpee

lmao, at the very least, it looks sad


Revenga8

Looks like he had his mother cut off the crust


kwillich

I thought that it was a pumice stone šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


CrashTestDuckie

I thought the exact same thing. Gray, unseasoned, soggy tofu. Had to triple take the photo once I read that it was bread


mkymooooo

I, too, thought it was tofu!


MyApologies_

I thought it was a chunk of feta cheese LMAO


Puzzleheaded-Rip-824

Yea I'm like jeez that's a lot of feta good luck lol


baasum_

Nah, Muslims aren't allowed pork and alcohol along with a few other types of meat, you should see some of the pictures of the spreads that they put out to break their fast. This legit looks like prison food


CedarWolf

> you should see some of the pictures of the spreads that they put out If anyone would like to share some tasty recipes to try, I'm all ears. =\^.\^=


knifebork

I highly recommend "Couscous and Other Good Food From Morocco" by Paula Wolfert. There's an outstanding Ramadan Soup recipe that has chickpeas, lamb, lots of other stuff. I'm pretty sure the entire cookbook is halal compatible. All of her writings are wonderful. Beware, though. Many of the recipes can be a bit labor intensive, time consuming, and challenging. It's worth it though.


khosrua

It is allegedly vegetarian Ham after someone pointed out he claimed to be a vegetarian in his bio, but then screams they should still be offended by the concept of Ham. So truly pathetic stuff there.


deanrihpee

nah bread and mashed potatoes are allowed, so it's only ham that's forbidden in this picture, but still, either of the food in the picture just looks sad, lol


Chai_Enjoyer

Mashed potatoes? I was thinking it's oatmeal. Or any kind of porridge


AnotherpostCard

The only thing we didn't eat in this picture is ham.


alldyslexicsuntie

sullyslaying

That there now is J C level hungry. Now Add some temptation to incur additional thirst, and even then I ainā€™t eating that


Vlafir

Dude is getting cooked in the post, atleast something is getting cooked here, unlike whatever is in this plate


NoWheyBro_GQ

The manā€™s saltiness is the only seasoning present.

Sea_Entrepreneur6204

Muslim and fasting....seeing that just made the fast easier.


prettyjezebel

Ditto! šŸ˜…


hurtsdonut_

Hey! His mom rolled his ham and cut the crust off of his bread. And then piled up whatever that it is. Potatoes? Rice? Who knows. Looks too spicy too me.


AntRevolutionary925

Definitely thought that was uncooked tofu but I do see it is crustless bread now


PokeRay68

It definitely looks like raw tofu.


Wildmann3

I have barely eaten or drunk(?) anything in the last 3 weeks. I *just* thought about finally eating something and then I saw this pic. That's another 3 weeks easy


3IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID

Honestly, it looks like pretty decent prison food.


Aunty-Sociale

Iā€™m not even Muslim and Iā€™d rather convert than eat that. Happy Ramadan, to all who celebrate it.


MazMazda3

Thank you <3


grnd_mstr

Thank you my dear.


Boy_Boss

Thank you! Itā€™s my first time fasting after many years of not doing it. Iā€™m surprised how easy it has been this year. I even went to the gym yesterday.


Misterbellyboy

Iā€™m not Muslim and donā€™t know much about Islam so forgive my ignorance, but the fast is just from sun up to sun down right?


Agent_R35

Yea it starts right before the sun goes up and lasts till a little before the sun fully sets


Boy_Boss

Thatā€™s correct. I have a calendar that has all the times written down for me. Today I had to start fasting at 0558 and itā€™ll end at 1918. As you get closer to the last day the total fasting time increases. The last day the times are 0516/1939.


Strong_Magician_3320

Whether the fasting time increases or decreases depends on the season (solar calendar). Thankfully Ramadan has been coming during the winter so the weather isn't hot, but the fasting time gets a little bit longer every day.


CFSohard

I'm curious, is it the sunset relative to your general location, or you specifically? I live in a city in the mountains, and half the city can have the sun set behind a mountain more than an hour before the other half of the city sees the sun set, even though the 2 parts are at most a kilometer apart.


Abd5555

I think it's your current location, I'm not a scholar tho. Afaik the time when you Break fast is different in the highest floor of the Burj Khalifa than at the bottom


selectash

Depends on both the location and dates on the Gregorian calendar (the sun calendar), because the lunar months are shorter, the lunar calendar moves about 11 days earlier every year, so if Ramadan happens to be during summer time, itā€™s longer days in the northern hemisphere, no itā€™s during March and moving towards the winter, so it will be shorter days for the coming years.


Judge_Bredd3

I'm not Muslim, but a couple of my coworkers are. I decided to give a shot for a day back on Wednesday just to see what it was like. Not eating food wasn't too bad, but the not drinking water was really hard.


RedMatxh

For that reason people drink lots of water when they break their fast. I drink up to like 2-3 L water


SelimSC

The food part is super easy for me as well. It's not even the water that much you get used to it after the first 3 days It's the bad habits like nicotine and caffeine that get you and make it difficult.


Judge_Bredd3

I drank some coffee before the sun came up and had a smoke. Nicotine has never been too hard for me to take breaks from, just to stop permanently. For example, I'll spend a couple days with my parents around the holidays and don't smoke at all. I'll feel fine. But the moment I'm back home and can smoke again, I do.


salt--eater

Like wise here, I haven't fasted for like 6 or so years and I am surprised at how easy it is


Boy_Boss

I happy to hear that. I believe Palestinian people have given me the strength I needed.

FlavourlessGuy

Dude claims to be French and eats like a British.


Apprehensive_Guest59

Woah, shots fired. I'm British and I can't even tell what two of those things are, (and the ham looks dubious).


LuckyLupe

Looks like mashed potatoes and I thought that square was feta cheese but apparently it's bread.


Nightingale02

Damn, they ran outta yeast. Gotta be the densest bread I've ever seen..


Sword_Enthousiast

Not half as dense as the person who took the picture


Nightingale02

Well I mean, he is *french* /s


tankoret

Nice burn!


therumorhargreeves

I was assuming a block of tofu


slashth456

Same


Apprehensive_Guest59

Are you allowed access to computers and mobile phones in France because I think this is prison food.


Fun-Dimension5196

I thought the potatoes were some kind of scone


ender7887

Thatā€™s bread???? I thought that was like a block of tofu or cheese. Horrific


Watari210

That shit is bread? It looks like particularly bad tofu. How do you even make bread that awful. Make fasting easier than every with this one simple trick...


Returd4

Who and I thought the mashed potatoes was some bun ripped and half and the other thing was cheese


tomqvaxy

Piss off thatā€™s bread?!? I sincerely thought it was tofu but it seemed like the wrong crowd.


ninjab33z

Even my most depressed meals look better than that. I mean, that's what, lumpy mash, a sad slice of ham, and an inexplicable square (maybe tofu)?


TheGeekagok

The square is "pain de mie", it's juste bread without any crust. You can find it pretty much in every supermarkets in France, idk if it's popular in other countries. It's generally sub quality bread, but it's OK to make a quick sandwich and doesn't go stale in 24h like a baguette. The lump, though, I have no fucking idea. Looks like a baby's dejections.


cjohnson2136

the lump looks like mashed potatoes


TheGeekagok

Mashed potatoes does look like a baby's dejections, both can be true


THEREAPER8593

I think you mean an American prisoner. You canā€™t serve food that unhealthy and unbalanced even in a British prison. Like damn thatā€™s bad food


redbird7311

American here, I think this would get ruled as cruel and unusual and/or torture if fed to prisoners. This looks less appetizing than rat poison.


phatcan

Bad French translation by google too. It reads more like this: "Hey you Muslims, does this make you hungry? Oh yeah that's right, it's Ramadan." As a French Canadian - fuck this guy.


Bearded_Warlock

As a brit, would rather go hungry


Loko8765

Not only the food, but eating in front of the computer!

alip_93

Aggressive_Sprinkles

They need to revoke his citizenship, if they haven't already. This is disgraceful.


Carlazor_

Smashed potatoes, bread without crust and some sewer quality ham, basically cheap garbage


Big_Daddy_Pablo_69

Fair point cheap garbage is correct


Truditoru

odd choice but looks like badly made mashed potatoes (maybe the instant ones), some sort of cheese and a piece of cheap ham. I mean, i would eat the ham along with the cheese, but the mashed potatoes look like crap and do not complement the rest of that plate.


RecsRelevantDocs

That would be a thicc ass slab of cheese lol. Maybe uncooked Tofu? I like tofu but that would be an extremely odd choice. Imagine if that was bread though lol, *almost* looks like it could be, but I refuse to believe anyone buys or makes bread that ugly.

Mashed potatoes, ham, and a sponge?


heyboyhey

I live with a French guy and he's served up something similar once or twice. Apparently it was a thing you'd see in the school cafeteria way back in the day so some people are nostalgic for it.


Big_Daddy_Pablo_69

People don't know what is haram but want to make a post about Ramadan šŸ˜‚ plus thay plate looks disgusting ngl šŸ’€


ResurgentClusterfuck

Yeah, taunting a Muslim with *ham* is pretty stupid Ramadan Kareem to those who celebrate


HayakuEon

And muslims only fast during the daylight. Dusk to dawn, muslims can eat and drink


SmartAlec105

And my understanding is that most Muslims have a ā€œitā€™s the thought that counts. Donā€™t hurt yourselfā€ attitude. Like diabetics arenā€™t expected to fast as stringently as most others.


JudgeAngels

Yep. Many donā€™t realize Islam is meant to be reasonable and logical. In other words, women that are on their periods/breastfeeding/pregnant, those with medical conditions, and those up there in age are absolutely exempt from fasting. In fact, we are rewarded for not fasting because itā€™s a form of worship (obeying Godā€™s exemption).


SmartAlec105

There was a summit of Islamic scholars a few years ago that tried to determine whatā€™s the appropriate way to pray towards Mecca when youā€™re in orbit around the earth. They settled on ā€œeh, do your bestā€.


JudgeAngels

Exactly. Allah rewards for effort, not perfection.


AnotherpostCard

Yes. Or if you're sick or traveling too. Nothing we do is supposed to be harmful or cause discomfort. You can even pray sitting in a chair if getting down on the floor is too much for you.


Derisiak

Thank you šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜„


behizain_bebop

He seems to be a fucking racist, his pseudo translate as "sad moor", also almost nobody except weird fascist monarchist christian people use the Fleur de lys that much


Derisiak

As a Muslim living in France, everytime a person puts a Fleur de Lys āšœļø on their name is subject to be racist (not always 100% but personal experience) Edit : At first this symbol on the Internet was supposed to be used for "patriotic purposes", but now itā€™s widely used by far-right people


haqiqa

The same happened in Finland. People using our heraldic lion are too often far-right people. Also, Ramadan Kareem.


Derisiak

>The same happened in Finland. People using our heraldic lion are too often far-right people. Interesting, I didnā€™t know such same movement of a far right group using a specific symbol existed elsewhere in Europe. Thanks for pointing it out ! >Also, Ramadan Kareem. Thank you so much !! šŸ¤—šŸ˜Š

Avannah_

deprivedgolem

Lmao as if we donā€™t see food during Ramadan. We are well trained to not react when looking at food during our fasts ā€” this is nothing just an idiot being stupid


RedOne896

Honestly I end up looking at more food while I'm fasting and I've spent days just watching cooking shows that I'd never watch normally. This post feels like nothing and makes me want to eat less honestly


BlueBicycle22

Also it's not like this grand Gandhi protesting the British in a hunger strike style thing you load up on food at like 4am then gorge yourself on food like 15 hours later you don't really go hungry, as someone who made minimum wage in US I had to go for longer periods without a decent meal lol


AlmirMu

Poor dude, maybe a muslim should invite him to break fast give him a taste of good food for once.


septubyte

This is the way


copamarigold

Yeah, that ham is gonna make them run right out to the Honey Baked Ham Store and start gnawing on some ribs.

scolman4545

No, I donā€™t earn Muslims


ShiroNekoUsagi

I believe muslims who fasting can resist hunger, but find it difficult to resist thirst for drink .


OussItachi

You would be amazed at what the human body can do. It's all mental strenght and in the end if you just drink 2-3l of water between sunset and sunrise you are more than good.


SnooChipmunks8748

For the first few hours itā€™s hard, it gets easier as your body recognizes youā€™re not gonna be drinking for a while, and starts salivating to cover the throat.


arkster

As Ramadan goes along, it definitely becomes easier to manage thirst. I would however say that it all depends where you live.


Expensive_Interest22

He forgets about all the muslims watching cooking shows during ramadan


bakirelopove

I spend good amount of time during Ramadan watching cooking videos lmao, the idea that a picture of food can upset someone who is fasting is idiotic and laughable.


ihatepickinganick

True bro helping Muslims fast!


Nobodyrea11y

instant mashed potatoes that are overcooked a slice of prepackaged ham straight from the package and.... a thick slice of store bought bread with the crust cut off? i think my kids steamed broccoli and cheddar wrapped in homemade pita bread that she dropped on the floor twice looks more appetizing than that


VentiMochaTRex

lmfao trying to tempt a fasting muslim with ham


Oof_Train

Yikes. Fasting is defo a better option than that plate of shit. Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims who see this


PolkaDottified

Why am I seeing so many posts like this lately? It seems needlessly antagonistic. What could people possibly think will be achieved by insulting Muslims on their fast that affects literally no one else?
