The New Year's edition of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to the history of the feast. What food has meant in the life of mankind - and not just food, but everything connected with it - how people sit down at the table, how dishes are served, what to say and do at the same time. All nations at all times have had many rituals connected with the feast - both ordinary, everyday and festive. New Year's is the time to remember this. BOOKS 1. G.I. Kabakova.
