The nomadic nature of the Rohari still has a strong influence on their cuisine to this day, even in the settled cities. Dried meats and fruits are commonplace, especially while a tribe is on the move. While the tribe is settled around an oases, however, that is when the more flavorful and popular dishes arise. The Rohari enjoy meals consisting of meat (chiefly goat and sheep, beef is a luxury and pork is shunned), dairy, root vegetables, grains, and sugary fruits, such as dates. Roasted meats are common staple meal item, but so are stews and tajines. The cities along the coast have been incorporating fish into their diet, as well. One of the hallmarks of the Rohari cuisine, like Desmiran, is the generous use of spices and herbs. In its finest form, Rohari food is a truly aromatic experience.
Breakfast: A light and simple meal consisting breads, dairy, and fruits. Combined with tea, this gives the Rohari the energy to face a long day ahead.
Luncheon: The largest and most important meal of the day. The main course will have been cooked for the better of the morning whether a roast or a stew. Other items such as dairy, rice, breads, vegetables and fruits will be served as well. For the tribes, lunch is frequently a social event in which different families will join together, each contributing to the meal. This tradition is still maintained in the settled cities, though to a lesser extent. Such invitations to family lunches are extended to friends.
Dinner: This is the lightest meal of the day, usually consisting of leftover food from lunch or a small repast of meat, dairy, and fruit. Soothing teas are also brewed after dinner to help the Rohari relax for the evening and ensure a good night’s rest.
