While different family groups usually have their own private quarters within the household, mealtimes bring them together. In many large households all the men eat in one group, the women and children in another. Visitors who come at mealtime are always invited to share the food. People sit on the ground and eat the meal - which traditionally consists of only one dish -- with their fingers from a common plate. But nowadays in more prosperous and/or "Westernized" settings, people sit at a table, use individual plates and utensils, and meals consist of a variety of dishes.
