Hebron – Together – As the happy Eid al-Fitr approaches, cod fish is widespread in the market, and as usual, the people of Hebron eat it in abundance, as a morning breakfast meal on the first day of Eid. As Al-Khalili says: We eat cod on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, in order to protect ourselves and our stomachs. “.

Abdel-Aleem Da’na, a historical historian, said during his presence at the Kurdi Mall in the city of Hebron: “We inherited eating cod from our ancestors, because it protects us from the ‘bashma’ and we can eat anything after that.” “Bashma” is an intestinal disorder.

He added: ‘It is known that during the days of Eid al-Fitr, family visits abound, and during these visits hospitality is offered, including fruits, nuts, sweets, and cold drinks, and each one of us is forced to eat in order to be complimentary to others, especially since it is his family, and here the ‘crap’ occurs inside the stomach. Which may cause some problems, but thanks to eating cod, we eat anything that is reasonably offere
d to us.’

Da’na explained that the inhabitants of the mountains and desert areas do not know fish, and hence they tend to buy fish, especially on special occasions. We eat a lot of cod on the days of Eid al-Fitr, especially on the first day of Eid. For your information, the people of Hebron learned about eating tomatoes and potatoes about 130 – 150 years, and there are many foods that have recently entered the table of the people of Hebron, some of which are seasonal and some of which are permanent, and it is not known when the first fish meal was cod in Hebron.
