Also known as Eid al-Adha, this 'festival of sacrifice' is celebrated by followers of Islam all around the world. The significance of this festival lies in the sacrifice of a male goat, which is then feasted upon after dividing it into three parts; one part is gifted to the friends and relatives, another part is given to the poor and needy people, and the last part is retained in the family. A wide variety of delectable delicacies are prepared on this day to celebrate Prophet Mohammed's sacrifice for God. From starters, to main course, to desserts, the lavish Eid spread is sure to tantalise your taste buds.
