پادکست Sofreh

Overview

In Episode #43, the last in a series of bite-sized, micro summer episodes, co-hosts Beata and Bita explain the concept of a Persian “sofreh”, or place setting, and the different types and occasions of sofreh, including memories of sofreh experiences. What is a Persian sofreh? Place setting or table cloth for a regular meal or a special occasion meal - can be as simple as a table cloth spread for kids to sit and eat around, or as ornate as those set for weddings (refer to episode #20 Sofreh Aghd) or the Persian new year (refer to episode #23, part 2 Sofreh Haft-seen) Setting of large platters, family style, sometimes symbolic items, and decorations, depending on the occasion An anchor and gathering place for a meal or special event Types of sofreh table clothes Hand-made, sometimes with beadwork and ornate design Plastic covered tablecloth for eating family style on the floor (often for kids) Store bought table cloth Ask the Beats! Bita and Beata are skipping the ask the beats section in the shorter, summer version micro episodes. Be sure to keep the questions, ideas, and topics of interest coming as they will pick up with the segment in the fall.
