The Global Suhoor Treat: Menemen

The Global Suhoor Treat: Menemen~

Turkey is one of the largest Muslim countries in Europe. After two decades of peace many of its Ottoman traditions are making a comeback. The Ottoman flags and the tradition of firing the cannons are still prevalent :)

On the streets of Sarajevo people make long lines to buy somun (traditional Ramadan bread). The minarets of the mosques are decorated with a green star and crescent. Drummers still go around the neighborhood, drumming loudly to wake people up for suhoor :)
