Kazakh tables

Nowhere is the openness of the Kazakh people expressed so vividly and fully as in the time-honored traditions and customs of hospitality and festive treats for guests-dastarkhan. It has long been a custom of the Kazakhs to treat a guest richly, to seat him in the most honorable place. It was considered shameful not to give a hand to a person in a difficult moment, not to do him good, not to let him spend the night, not to buy him.
