Georgian restaurant Tamada

History and tradition.

A Tamada is the toastmaster at a Georgian feast (supra). At all supras regardless of size, there is a tamada (or toastmaster), one person who introduces each toast.

Tamada ought to be eloquent, intelligent, smart, sharp−witted and quick−thinking, with a good sense of humour because very often some of the guests might try to compete with him on the toast making.

At the Georgian table a tamada bridges the gap between past, present and then the future.

A toast can be proposed only by a Tamada and the rest are to develop the idea. Everybody tries to say something more original and emotional than the previous speaker. The whole process grows into a sort of oratory contest.
