02 Oct Fun Food Fact: which sweets did the bride hand out to single girlfriends in the Middle East?

In the Middle East, the tradition of bathing has been known for centuries, in which the bride-to-be was “purified” by female relatives over a few days, often in a bath of milk and in a cloud of incense. This cleansing was said to be essential for the success of her marriage. Meanwhile, the older women gave her tips on how to be a sensual wife to her husband. Afterwards, the bride shared honey and oranges with her single friends, wishing them luck in their own search for a husband. Seems relaxing to us, such a hammam party!

Does a bachelor party on a culinary level sound like something for the bride or groom to be? For example, a patisserie or bonbon making workshop. Possibly combined with a High Tea with bubbles. Contact Eat2Gather for the possibilities!
