Sup (v)– to take (liquid food, or any liquid) into the mouth in small quantities, as from a spoon or cup; sip.
Revelations 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door; and knock: if any man hears my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Eating Customs in the Mississippi
I recall as a child visiting with neighbors in the rural south and immediately being offered something to eat upon arrival. You could be meeting for the first time or be a longtime acquaintance, no matter the duration of knowing the person you will always be offered whatever was prepared for the day. Mississippians are notorious for shortening words, thus sup is a shortened version of supper.
Eating Customs in Zambia
In Zambia, food customs may vary depending on whether one is located in the urban city area or rural village life. However, household guests are customarily offered food or drink without request. It is considered impolite to refuse anything offered, even if one is not hungry.
Sup with me will cover foods eaten within Zambia’s cities and rural villages. I am lacto-ovo vegetarian, however, I will still mention cuisines that are outside of my eating habits (including meat), but preference will be shown to vegetarian dishes.
