Asida ('asīda) (Arabic: عصيدة) is an Arab dish made up of a cooked wheat flour lump of dough. It is eaten throughout the Arab world, from the Arab states of the Persian Gulf to the North Africa. It is eaten with hand, without using utensil. It is often served on holidays, such as Mawlid, and celebrations.
The Libyan version is served with a sweet syrup; usually rub, but also with honey.
