the toastmaster who leads a Georgian feast
The story
No Georgian supra runs without a tamada, who proposes each toast in turn, to peace or to the dead, and keeps going late into the night. The role is an honour and a job, and a good one is remembered. English has the toastmaster, who stops after the speeches.
