#DidYouKnow that it was customary among the Ottomans to serve a glass of water alongside the coffee for guests?

The lost code of conduct was:

If the guest reached out for the coffee, the host understood that the guest was full, but if the guest reached out for the water, it meant that the guest was hungry. The host could then proceed with the meal preparation.

What a display of high moral values and courtesy!
