    • Food

In today’s episode of Smörgåsbord, Angel and Mik dive into the first part of a three-part series into the holidays of Islam starting with Ramadan! We also feature a special guest, Bianca Gueco, who is also our new editor in the show, to share her time living in Dubai where Muslim practices are much more common. 
 
Also, Bianca shares her stories on Ramadan including a voluminous story about rice that terrifies our rice-fearing Angel. If you want to see a first-hand look into the story click the link below to see Bianca’s video of preparing iftar.
