Langar
They eat the langar meal : ) which everyone eats during baisakhi
Hiya, I'm not an expert, but as far as I'm aware Sikhs are allowed to eat meat. I think you might be thinking about the Langar - the communal kitchen and meal at the gurdwara. In which case, everyone is welcome, even non-Sikhs. The idea of the Langar (name of kitchen and meal) is that everyone is equal so all can come and eat a free meal together. It is traditional for eaters to sit on the floor (a symbol of humility and equality) and the meal is vegetarian so that vegetarians (such as Hindus) can eat the same meal too. Hope this has helped, Vx
Langar meals are important because it is a communal meal that is shared by Sikhs. Eating together is a way of expressing oneness and equality of mankind.
As the gurdwara has a free meal service, you can take guests there to show them your religon.
The evening before Jesus was killed, he shared a meal with his followers. At this meal he broke and shared a loaf of unleavened (ie flat) bread with them and as he shared it out he said "this is my body which is given for you, do this as often as you eat it in memory of me". After that he passed round a cup of wine and shared it with them and as he did so he said "this is my blood which is shed for you, do this as often as you drink it in memory of me". Thus when Christians come together to worship they share bread and wine at the alter as Jesus instructed. The bread and wine are the "Sacrament" and the service of worship in which this is done is called the "Holy Eucharist" or "Holy Communion"

A drink taken after a meal is called a digestif (as opposed to one taken before a meal which is called an appertif).
AnswerA gurdwara is the place where Sikhs worship in common. Gurdwaras are made up of the following spaces:- Entrance hall and shoe room (shoes are removed upon entering)- School room(s) for the education of children; this is usually near the entrance- Diwan hall which is where worship takes place with men and women sitting on separate sides. The Takht is found in the Diwan hall and is where the sacred scriptures (Guru Granth Sahib) is placed during worship. Paintings of gurus are normally to be seen on the wall behind the Takht.- Rest room which is attached to the Diwan, and is where the Guru Granth Sahib is taken to 'rest' after worship or at the end of the day.- Langar hall which is where worshippers eat after the service- Kitchen for the preparation of the meal to be eaten after worship
Usually all Guruprabs are celebrated in the same manner with continuous reading of Guru Granth Sahib Ji which usually takes 48 hours, during this time Sikhs visit Gurudwara (Sikh's place of worship) helping the the prepeartion of Langar (Community meal), singing the hymns from Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
The Wampanoag tribe is known for celebrating a meal similar to the second harvest. This meal, called the "Green Corn Festival," was a gathering to give thanks for a successful harvest and to share a meal with their community. It involved feasting on freshly harvested corn and other foods from the bountiful summer harvest.
