If you happen to visit a traditional dastarkhan, you can witness an ancient custom. The owner of the house presents the most respected guest with a ram's head prepared in a special way. He accepts it and then cuts it into pieces, which he divides between the other guests. In this case, each part of the head is given a certain meaning. Giving each guest one or another part of the head, the honorary guest who is entrusted with this business, in a joking manner accompanies this procedure with friendly hints and good wishes. For example, he cuts off his ears (fist) and gives them to young men (boys) with the wishes to be careful, palate (taңdai) to girls or young women: this will make them supposedly hardworking, eloquent. Thus, the guest of honor cuts off the meat from the head in small pieces and distributes it to the rest. He can also pass the head to the one on the right, and then she moves from one guest to another. After this procedure, a large dish with meat and boiled slices of thinly rolled dough is placed in the middle of a table or a low table. It is customary to serve meat with bones. Here, in full view of the guests, the owner begins to crumble it finely, and distributes the fragrant-smelling bones with small pieces of the meat remaining on them to the guests. Here again, the consecrated time and tradition order of tidbits distribution comes into effect: the pelvic bones - “genbas” and drumstick - “asyk-zhilik” give respectable, older guests to eat meat, brisket - “trot” - to daughter-in-law or son-in-law , cervical vertebra - “myyn omyrtқa” - married women or girls.
