Since ancient times royal feasts started with the ceremony of sharing bread and salt. The host and the guest stood in front of each other so that they could cut the bread crosswise.

Harissa that was cooked in New Year differed from the ones made during the whole year, as they didn\u2019t mix it so the year would be peaceful.
