Tharid (Arabic: ثريد, also known as trid, taghrib, tashreeb or thareed) is a bread soup that originates from Mecca, Saudi Arabia, an Arab cuisine also found in many other Arab countries. Like other bread soups, it is a simple meal of broth and bread, in this instance crumbled flatbread moistened with broth or stew.[1] Historically, the flatbread used was probably stale and unleavened.[2] As an Arab national dish it is considered strongly evocative of Arab identity during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to a widespread legend, this unremarkable and humble dish was the prophet's favorite food.[3]
It is a common Ramadan dish.[4]
