IT IS CUSTOMARY "DUTY" FOR A UKRAINIAN HOSTESS TO URGE AND CONJOLE
HER GUESTS TO TAKE MORE THAN A MODEST SERVING OF FOOD. THIS IS DONE
IN A GRACIOUS MANNER, WITH THE HOSTESS APPROACHING THE GUEST WITH
THE SERVING PLATE AND WITH CUSTOMARY PLEASANTRIES AND REGULARLY
REPEATED WORDS "PLEASE, HAVE MORE AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH!" WHEN
THE GUEST IS WELL INTO THE FOOD, SHE APPROACHES HIM AGAIN IN THE
SAME MANNER.
