Today Egypt is in the upper 80% populated with practicing Sunni

Muslims and therefore their culture and habits of eating monopolize the
country. What I found most interesting is that there is still a presence of
Ancient Egyptian meals. As of 2000 dried fish was still a popular meal
in Egypt and was created by the ancient people themselves. The Muslim
religion looks at all food as being a blessing onto them by god and
therefore all food is lawful or Halal. They do although require
slaughtering ritual to be done to any animals being killed for food. Pork
although is considered Haram or harmful food, it is specifically
forbidden. Also forbidden are, flesh of the ass, carnivorous animals,
such as the tiger, fox, dog, and leopard, which kill prey by using their
paws, and birds of prey. Alcohol and any other mind altering
substances are also forbidden. Land animals without ears are Haram like
snakes. Mashboo foods are doubtful but nether bad or good. There are
also many times of fasting in this religion and after the fast there are
large feasts.
Egypt is not a country with much outsourcing necessary. They pride
themselves on being self-sufficient and using all locally grown and
distributed foods. They have large food markets and even special events
and days for trade. They do not include fast food into their diet and their
religious practices help them to live more healthy and sustainable lives.
