Brilio.net - Any celebration certainly cannot be separated from the agenda of eating. Starting from thanksgiving, weddings, to religious studies held in the community must be equipped with various food dishes. The food served is generally arranged on plates to be shared with residents who attend the celebration.
However, it is different from the dishes at the celebration which are served with other containers like in this Instagram video @timelinejowo. Not with plates, the moment of eating together at this community celebration actually uses teak leaves. The teak leaves are used as a base for the rice to be eaten.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @timelinejowo on Friday (13/9), the video initially showed a group of residents gathered at home. A moment later, a man entered the house and brought a bunch of fresh teak leaves. No kidding, the teak leaves he brought were very many.

After further investigation, the teak leaves were to be used as a base for the residents' meals. Therefore, the residents who had gathered beforehand immediately took several teak leaves. They immediately arranged the teak leaves on the table and chairs.
After the teak leaf base was neatly arranged, the residents who had gathered then sat in several places and waited for a man to distribute the rice. Well, the rice was immediately placed on the table and chairs that had been covered with the teak leaves.

When the rice has been distributed, there are other residents who then distribute side dishes from a tray. The side dishes are placed on top of the rice to be eaten. In the upload, residents appear very enthusiastic in anticipation of the rice and side dishes being distributed.
Basically, teak leaves have been used as a base or food wrapper since ancient times. Even today, some people, especially in villages, still use fresh teak leaves as a base. In addition to being sturdy, this type of leaf has a delicious aroma that can make food taste better.
