I just realised something. Although it has been a long time since I heard the word 'tiffin' used on its own, we still have "Tiffin Carriers". A traditional tiffin-carrier is a brass or stainless steel modulated vessel where 3 to 6 bowls fit snugly on top of each other, with the top one closed with a lid. The entire ensemble is held together by a frame attached to the top handle. If any of you have visited rural India, you'll know what I mean.
