Community Meals

When a large number of people eat together

on specific occasions, it is called community
eating. It teaches us equality and makes us feel
a part of the community. Weddings, festivals,

wedding anniversaries and birthday parties are
a few occasions on which people eat together.

Here most people are known to each other and
are invited by the host for a meal. Food is served
in an open ground, banquet hall or community

centre. It is prepared in a large quantity in big
utensils by professional cooks. family having dinner
