Yes, in fact, some people prefer to add other vegetables instead of the meat , but there are some people whose mouths water when they hear the name of meat. Then we have Eid, meat is used a lot, so people eat only for a few days, after that they don't feel like eating and they like lentils and vegetables more. I also like vegetables. It seems that you spent a good time with your friends. It is a very good time and very memorable.
