Molokheyyah
Molokheyyah was consumed in Ancient Egyptian cuisine, where the name "Molokheyyah" originates. Many Egyptians consider molokheyyah to be the national dish along with Ful Medammes and Koshari.
For reasons that remain unclear, the dish was banned by the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah sometime during his reign (996-1021 CE). While the ban was eventually lifted after the end of his reign, the Druze, who hold Al-Hakim in high regard, continue to respect the ban, and do not eat molokheyyah of any kind to this day.
