n . 餐食
餐食
Meals are at the present day "
eaten from a round table little higher than a stool ,
guests sitting cross -
legged on mats or small carpets in a circle ,
and dipping their fingers into one large dish heaped with a mixture of boiled rice and other grain and meat .
But in the time of our Lord ,
and perhaps even from the days of Amos (
6 :
4 ,
7 ),
the foreign custom had been largely introduced of having broad couches ,
forming three sides of a small square ,
the guests reclining at ease on their elbows during meals ,
with their faces to the space within ,
up and down which servants passed offering various dishes ,
or in the absence of servants ,
helping themselves from dishes laid on a table set between the couches ."
