• The purpose of this study explores some strands of satire in Kitab al-Bukhala. In this study we've dealt with the relationship between food and satire. The study on the interaction of eating food and literature is still an unexplored area in Arabic studies except drinking khamr in Arabic poetry. Kitab al-Bukhala' is a huge board which contains two ideas; food and miser's ideology. The mixture of these two created a powerful and effective humor. As humor is at the core of most satires, it is worth studying how that humor is created. The satire bluntly depicts Islam in a twisted way, especially when misers address the Koran and the Sunnah as the excuses for their stinginess. Recalling that hospitality is considered the most important virtue of Arabs, the fact that misers seek excuses in the Koran is just absurd. Another humor can be created just by learning that biological connection between food and word, as they are both physically linked with mouth.
