음식을 만들고 나누는 것은 건설적인 대화가 이루어지게 하는 하나의 방법입니다. 좋은 일과 나쁜 일을 서로 공유하고 축하하며 어려운 주제에 대해서도 이야기할 수 있습니다. 이것은 모임에서 음식을 나르는 데 쓰이는 바구니 쟁반으로, 다채로운 색깔의 패턴을 만들기 위해 식물을 염색하고 꼬아서 만들었습니다. 이 경우에는 아프리카의 고대 왕국인 누비아에 해당 하 지만, 이처럼 집단 에서 음식을 나누는 방식은 모든 문화에서 발견됩니다.

Comment in Tigre written using Arabic script
31 May, 2023
The Tigre comment above says that trays like this one from the museum are used in Eritrea for serving ‘kesra’. This is a flatbread similar to injera but lighter. As people share this bread from the same tray they come together as a community. Eating kesra together from such trays always starts with giving thanks to God and saying Bismillah.

The Traditional Greek Coffee Trays are the trays used by waiters/waitresses to serve customers in
coffee houses. However, coffee trays can be used by other people in different occasions, and not
necessarily only from waiters or waitresses. For example, my mother always uses her coffee tray if she
wants to serve coffee after a family lunch celebration in our home. Furthermore, it might be called
coffee tray, but apart from coffee someone could, also, carry water, and Greek cookies or desserts
such as moustokouloura (grape molasses cookies) and spoon sweets (sweet preserves).
Others call Greek coffee (originally came from the Ottoman Empire) … Byzantine! Byzantine coffee is
considered to be served with the pot and the cup next to it empty. (Image is taken from

在中国，新年是一个团圆的时刻。人们会提前买好年货，比如坚果和零食，放在盘子中并分享给亲人和朋友。作为一个国际留学生，我和其他几个室友共同分享一个房子。处在这个艰难的时代和转折期中我们经常会遇到很失落的时刻，我们会用分享食物的方式，和彼此聊天，互相鼓励。
In China, New Year is a time of reunion. People will buy New Year’s groceries, such as nuts and snacks, in advance, put them on plates and share them with loved ones and friends. I shared a house with a few other roommates as an international student. In these difficult times and transition periods, we often experience moments of frustration and we share food, talk to each other and encourage each other.

I loved reading your comment, Olivia. Cooking and sharing food is so good for my mental health when I am feeling down.
