havent really been asked that tbh as I know a lot of veggies (by choice / religion)

the one which confuses a lot of people is the no alcohol rule. you tell people you dont drink and they look at you like some kinda ghost :lol:

but the annoying thing about alcohol is you have to be careful about what foods contain certain ingredients.

more or less all extracts, essences of flavours (e.g. vanilla, almond, pistachio etc) are dissolved in alcohol as they denature in water (the irony is that the moors are the people who invented this method of flavour preservation /enhancement).

virtually most desserts that are shop brought contain vanilla extract, which is haram by virtue of being dissolved in ethanol.

firni is lush (shame i have problems with rice but love firni and kheer). im considering trying to, inshallah, make a kheer / firni recipe with squash. apparently in india, u can get kheer which is made with bophlo (squash/gourd), as well as gazar (carrot).

personally I want to see if almond milk can be used as a substitute for cream / whole milk in a lot of dishes.

Sea cucumbers are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They are marine animals with a leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad. Sea cucumbers are found on the sea floor worldwide
