Feast Food (Sacred Foods)

Foods that belong to festivals and high occasions of a religious calendar, such as mooncake, the Persian herb and rice dish sabzi polo and the Easter simnel cake. An entry belongs here when its article ties the dish to a feast day. The group page lists dishes with the same religious use, so a reader can compare how different communities mark fasts, feasts and offerings through food. Entries are placed by what their own article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group that its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
