Supra
The Georgian feast, led by a toastmaster, with wine and a long series of toasts.
Also: keipi
The supra is the traditional Georgian feast, a long table of dishes such as khachapuri, khinkali, grilled meats, salads and walnut sauces, accompanied by wine poured from a jug. It is led by a tamada, the toastmaster, who proposes toasts in a set order, to God, peace, the homeland, the ancestors, the dead, parents, and love, and each is answered by the guests. A supra can last for hours, and the toasts are often long and poetic. A supra is held for any occasion, from weddings and funerals to a guest's arrival, and a guest is regarded as a gift from God.
