[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was worried your DH will not order what she wants.  You said she likes what she likes and probably knows your DH may not pay close attention to what she said she wants or he doesn't know and that may have happened before.  My mom likes what she likes and heaven help us if somebody gets her order wrong.  Men are known for not ordering exactly as told and they don't want to pay attention to what you are saying, like I don't want onions, but DH thinks it is too much trouble to tell no onions, no mushrooms, and I have no problem with it. The not paying was a bit weird, but maybe because she knew your DH would get it wrong and then she would be paying for something she doesn't want.  Same for her, she is probably not sure what it is that she likes as you were the one who introduced her to Indian food and know what she likes.  I don't let my DH order food either, kids and I are very picky and he always screws it up, always.  Not maliciously, just doesn't pay attention.  It is the same with all the men in my family.[/quote]

OP here.  You must have missed my earlier post.  We have the menu at home and the items we order every single time are highlighted - in fact, it was my mother who highlighted them.  Nothing is special ordered, it's right off the number, all you have to do is say what 'number' you want. That's what DH and I do.  We don't try to pronounce the names of things.  The people who answer the phone appear to be native speakers of American English so there's no language/accent barrier.  [/quote]

OK, I did miss that post, sorry.[/quote]
