016 - Wooden sofras

LOW WOODEN ROUND TABLE, around which families used to eat daily, seated at small stools or longhaired rugs. Its height usually reached 20- 30 points and its diameter 1.20 m. When the meal finished, the sofras was put in the corner next to the fireplace (“fotogonia”) or hung on the wall. The poorest families, which didn’t have stools, used to seat on large stones. On the sofras or soufras, women opened filo pastry for their pies or made homemade pasta and tiganides.
