Iftar is the Turkish word which means:
1. the fasting breaking dinner in Ramadan:
2. the food eaten to break Ramadan
3. the breaking of the Ramadan fast; and
4. the evening meal during Ramadan
During the Ramada celebration, particularly after sundown or sunset families eat perhaps their best meal of the year that they have saved for the celebration. This special meal is called the Iftar which is usually huge as the family has been fasting the whole day.
iftari foods eaten to break Ramadan
Igado - which is one of the popular Ilocano foods that you must try! This is a combination of pork Tenderloin and liver which is cut into strips together with red bell pepper and green peas to add color! This is actually perfect with rice for a lunch or dinner (either of the two) and you should right away ask for extra rice because surely one is not enough!
Iidako is the Japanese word for "baby octopus" , usually poached and made into a nice dish with other ingredients.
