Welcoming and sharing

In rural communities, hospitality is a right and a duty. Social interaction through sharing food and drink follows well-established rituals. This highly codified way of being together, regarded as a sign of civilisation, ensures respect and formality in the relationship between the people gathered around the table.

Cream

Alongside oil obtained from nuts and seeds, animal fats play a dominant role in the traditional continental diet. Butter and cream are eaten at feasts and prized as trade goods and gifts. Unlike lard, these dairy products are considered to be foodstuffs in their own right as well as condiments.
