Cuisine
The cuisine of the Gujarati Muslims is exactly identical to that of traditional Gujarati dishes. However, meat is incorporated in their cuisines, which is rarely eaten in vegetarian Gujarat. Meat is eaten by Gujarati Muslims primarily in their own respective households. Such examples are chicken, fish, eggs, deer, goat, and lamb are consumed, especially the last two for Eid al-Adha which involves sacrificing an animal of that kind for the recognition on how the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) tried to sacrifice his son by command of Allah (god), Ismail (Ishmael) to Allah. Beef seems to be a rarity of being eaten (out of respect for local Hindu customs) although they happen to consume it as well.
