It was invented back in ancient times, and by the 3rd century, it began to be produced on a larger scale.

Organizing a party requires proper preparations. You must have music and good food. Simple salads, muffins, or finger foods that you can pick up with your hand will work well. Usually, we prepare skewers, tortilla rolls, or pigs in a blanket.
