Georgian Table

Georgians are known as very hospitable people.
 In one of their proverbs it is said “Every guest is God-send”.


                                                         Georgian table

An unusual phenomenon for foreign visitors is the Georgian table, which has a deeper implication than an ordinary meal.
Complicated ritual relationships are manifested in it. The table is led by "tamada", who proposes traditional toasts. Each toast is interpreted by table members before drinking it.
Georgian toasts are numerous but the most important and popular are the toasts to the guests, friends, ladies, family members, relatives, mother land, those, who passed away, etc. You can extend the list yourself.
In Georgia you never drink wine without toasting, which is not applicable to beer. Traditional tables are usually accompanied by singing.
As mentioned above, the table is led by "tamada", who is the one to propose toasts. If you want to leave the table (this especially concems men), the most appropriate way will be the following: first ask the tamada for permission to propose a toast, then toast to the host family and only after that leave the table.
