Perspective: Enough with the pancakes. One woman is trying to give Muslims more middle-of-the night dining choices during the holy month of Ramadan, which starts this weekend.
By Petula Dvorak Petula Dvorak Local columnist Email Bio Follow Columnist May 2 at 1:37 PM Yes, it may seem weird, but chocolate chip funny face pancakes are sort of a Muslim in America thing.Let me explain for folks unfamiliar with what’s coming this weekend: the start of the holy month of Ramadan.That usually means there are festive and huge iftars — the evening meal — all month. Buffets, parties, family potlucks, especially on Friday nights.
Twitter is already full of Muslims saying their IHOP craving is beginning to kick in, with moms excited to bring their kid to their first “grand American tradition of the IHOP suhoor.” And then there’s the funny intersection of Muslim families next to booths of drunken clubbers satisfying their 3 a.m. munchies. This mash-up has inspired some comic “Whoa. Did I just walk into a Muslim convention?”pre-dawn tweets over the years.
“I have a lot of Muslim friends in my life, and I am embarrassed to say it never really dawned on me what an inconvenience it was until then,” said Brandt, 34, a former congressional staffer. Sure, plenty of Muslim families stay at home during Ramadan and avoid the pancake-heavy diet that comes with going out at those hours.
