In indigenous communities of the Ecuadorian highlands, a pampa mesa or pamba mesa (pampa = ground in Kichwa, mesa = table in Spanish) is a banquet of communal food laid directly on a tablecloth spread on the ground.[1][2][3][4]
Pampa mesas are often used at festivals or after mingas (gatherings for communal work). The food on a pampa mesa tends to be largely staple foods like mote, potatoes, yuca, and fava beans. Cuy (guinea pig) and other meats are sometimes present. The foods served vary according to what is grown locally.
Those eating from the pampa mesa typically use their hands to eat, rather than using silverware and dishes.
Pampa mesas are a form of social solidarity: Families from the community contribute food for the pampa mesa, and all may partake.[5][6] Eating from a pampa mesa is believed by some to be a form of connection with Pachamama, the principal goddess in Inca mythology who continues to be an object of worship in Ecuador.[7][8]
Chicha de jora sometimes accompanies a pampa mesa.[8]
