Coiled basket tray from ‘Nubia’

ഭക്ഷണം ഉണ്ടാക്കുന്നതും പങ്കുവയ്ക്കുന്നതും ഒരു നല്ല സംഭാഷണം നടത്താനും നമ്മുടെ വിജയങ്ങളും ആശങ്കകളും പരസ്പരം പങ്കുവയ്ക്കാനും ആഘോഷിക്കാനും, ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുള്ള വിഷയങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് സംസാരിക്കാനുമുള്ള ഒരു മാർഗമാണ്. ഈ കാണുന്ന വർണ്ണാഭമായ പാറ്റേൺ നിർമ്മിക്കുന്നതിനായി ചെടികൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ഭക്ഷണം വിളമ്പുന്നതിനുള്ള ഒരു പാത്രമാണിത്. ഈ ഉദാഹരണം ആഫ്രിക്കയിലെ ഒരു പഴയ രാജ്യമായ ‘നുബിയ’യിൽ നിന്നുള്ളതാണെന്ന് പട്ടികപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്, എന്നാൽ ഒരു ഗ്രൂപ്പിൽ ഭക്ഷണം പങ്കിടുന്നതിനുള്ള സമാനമായ മാർഗ്ഗങ്ങൾ എല്ലാ സംസ്കാരങ്ങളിലും കാണപ്പെടുന്നു.

നിങ്ങളുടെ വീട്ടിൽ സമാനമായ എന്തെങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടോ?

Comments from Divya about the translation

This is an object from the Manchester Museum collection translated from English to the Indian language Malayalam.

Malayalam is a Dravidian language spoken very commonly in the Southern state of India called Kerala along with Indian territories Lakshadweep and Mahé, Puducherry.

Manchester has a vibrant Malayali community and a Manchester Malayalee association comprising of people from all age groups. This signifies the importance of having a translation in Malayalam of the museum objects thereby making the museum experience more welcoming, inclusive and wholesome.

    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.

    Do you have anything similar in your home?
    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.
