Tharida
Soup in Arab cuisine
Tharida (also referred to as tharidat Ghassan)[1] is a soup in Arab cuisine prepared with broth, stewed meat and bread crumbs that are crumbled using one's fingers;[a] the bread crumbs serve to thicken the soup.[3][4][5] It was sometimes prepared using brains for the meat.[1] Additional ingredients that can be used include beans, crushed or pounded walnuts, yogurt, mint and spices.[6][7] It may have a milky appearance.[8] Hundreds of variations and recipes exist for the dish.[9]
History
Tharida served as a symbol of Arab identity during the "early years of Islam".[9] Muhammad said that tharida surpasses other dishes as Aisha, his favorite wife, "surpasses other women".[b][9]
