Integration /or rather 'Cohesion' in the UK/ in action: 
I got this box with 2 different sorts of hot (meaning-temperature) rice dishes in the night before Good Friday, when popped out for some milk to a local shop. An Aisian lady gave them out to passing by people, getting them from her car boot and insisted I would stop and accept it. I thanked her, of course, automatically assumed: well, yes, it's Easter. Than thought:not sure there is a connection between the christian Easter and Aisian (most likely: Pakistani, the majority of whom are muslims) holidays. Went back to ask the lady what was the reason for giving out the food, but she had disappeared already. Than decided to Google my question: so, it was Mawlid-al-Nabi (Muhammad's Birthday) that Thursday.
/On the photo the food is frozen, and unfortunately i'd ruined the relief before putting it into the freezer - was curious to do a research on the ingredients.
