Are there any cultures in which it is traditional for higher-status people to eat later / last during a meal, so that they can show generosity towards lower-status dependents?
Post Body
Pretty much the question. I know it's common in very hierarchical cultures for higher status people to eat first, but last feels equally marked, and would make sense since e.g. elders are highest status but younger people are more likely to need nutrition (for obvious reasons), or noble hosts might have lower-class guests for some kind of festival and show off their generosity, or etc. Does any culture actually traditionally do this though?
