In Algeria during the 1980s and 1990s, families carried trays of homemade Eid sweets to neighbourhood bakeries in the final week of Ramadan. A retrospective in El Djoumhouria recalls that bakers devoted themselves to this work, while children and teenagers took a ticket and waited in long queues for their trays to enter the oven. This was more than outsourced baking. An installation normally used for bread temporarily became a shared community oven, and tickets plus a line organised the sequence of household batches. The finished sweets returned home to await the evening meal. The article does not give individual waiting times, but it preserves the mechanism clearly: a private bakery became neighbourhood festival infrastructure, one numbered tray at a time.
