Some of the most important food traditions in the Algerian cuisine are related to the Ramadan, when special dishes are being prepared. Jary, a thick lemony wheat vegetarian soup is prepared with this occasion, and as a tradition, it is made with green herbs and mint as flavoring ingredients. Also, El ham lahlou, sweet lamb dish, is a specific traditional dish made for the last day of Ramadan. Food festivals are usually related to specific cultural dances, carnivals and street partying. Chanukah, the end of the secular year, is a celebration of the new crops that ill come, and is typically a family celebration, when baked leeks are prepared in large quantities. The festival lasts for a couple of days and involves music, folk dances and food prepared over campfires. There is also an Ethnic food festival in March, called the Yoav-Yehuda, when fruit stews and stuffed stew with intestines, artichokes, and anise are prepared and served.
