Sudanese habits in eating

For me, it has been always interesting to know the differences in eating habits between nations. Last month I have read this blog (see the link:http://www.myheritage.com/blogs/companyblog/2009/09/inside-myheritage/asians-like-to-share-when-eating-out) and I discovered that although India is far from Sudan but we shared the same habits in food sharing.
Sudanese (middle aged people) normally are embarrassed when eating alone while others don’t, and especially if it is a sandwich. They see themselves mingy if they don’t share their food with others.
We took our meals normally at homes and we share it with the expected guest who could come at any moment and feel welcomed. In my house for example we don't use dinner table when having our meals. Instead, we put the dishes in a big round alimony tray (the number of dishes vary according to the available food and the occasion) with a reasonable quantity of food. All the people eat from the same dishes and use their hands in eating unless the stuff is too soft (in that case we use table spoons). We normally eat stew with bread, kisra (which is more like the Ethiopian anjera but thinner like a journal paper), gorasa (more like pancake but with whole wheat, salty and thicker) or aseida (sorghum porridge).
