I didn't realize that was a Middle Eastern practice, I thought it was more of an Asian thing.

I've never seen Asians do that. They just drink tea they don't interpret it!

The practice of tea leaf reading originated independently in Asia, the Middle East and Ancient Greece. Scotland, Ireland, and England have produced a number of practitioners and authors on the subject, and English potteries have crafted many beautiful tea cup sets specially designed and decorated to aid in fortune-telling. Cultures of the Middle East that practice divination in this fashion usually use left-over coffee grounds from Turkish coffee turned over onto a plate.

I got kabob for dinner today for me and my bf. I ordered it to go and went to pick it up. I walk in and I see two employees staring intently at small tea cups. I'm wondering what the heck they are doing and they are speaking in arabic. They were "studying" the tea leaves. It immediately made me think of Harry Potter & Professor Trelawney's divination class!

Maybe they were waiting for the tea leaves to tell them which one's turn it was to spit into the kabob?

I've never seen a Middle Easterner do it, either. But on TV (which always mirrors real life, ya know), it's always a Chinese person. Or a dingbat white woman.

How interesting! And yes, I think I have seen a Middle Easterner read coffee grounds, I just totally forgot about that.

Grumpy I think you're a bit confused. They turn the kabob on a spit, not spit on it.

Hey Pixie, you let this one pass without comment?

C'mon Bring IT!

All the more reason to understand the difference between the noun 'spit' and the verb.
