Sofras are used both in village houses and for picnics. A crucial part of life, it is closely related
to their religion as well, since it is considered shameful to waste any food. By using the sofra, people can ensure that
none of the food falls on the ground and is wasted. At the end of the meal, the mother or the daughter will carefully collect
all of the leftovers and crumbs in the middle of the sofra, wrap it up and bring it to the chicken house to feed the chickens.
This way, there is no waste. Being an important part of their lives and beliefs, people are always careful to never walk
on the sofras with their shoes on, even in outside settings such as picnics.
