Presenting food to people to eat.
Contexto cultural
In Bangladeshi 'Dawat' (feasts), it is common for the male members of the host family to serve the guests personally as a sign of humility and respect. During 'Pujo' bhog (offering), food is served in a specific sequence, and servers often walk around with large buckets of khichuri and labra. In villages, people often sit on floor mats (shitol pati), and food is served on banana leaves, which requires a specific technique of 'poribeshon' to prevent spilling. In city apartments, 'buffet style' is becoming common, but the host still 'poribeshon' the first few items to welcome the guests.
