The answer

The basic principle concerning customs is permissibility, unless they are a symbol of disbelievers and polytheists, or a religious text prohibits them. Thus, for actions that are not acts of worship, the default ruling is permissibility until evidence for prohibition is established. Therefore, if foods or customs are not associated with innovative celebrations or imitation of disbelievers, they are permissible.
