Eastern Manners and Customs: "A Lordly Dish"

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Judges 5:25
Listen from:
To this day in some parts of the east, the largest dish in the house is called Sultanea, or Sultan-like, being from its size sovereign, as it were, over the smaller dishes and plates. Many old-fashioned housekeepers in our own country still preserve the set of custard glasses, one of which, of the same pattern, but much larger than the others which were ranged round it, was called the Master. Anon.
