[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine any Asian family every thinking you can host a party without food (I'm Asian).  Not as sure about other races.[/quote]

I'm Asian. I have no trouble hosting a party without providing a full meal. I think there's too much emphasis on food in today's culture.[/quote]

I am Indian and would be horrifically embarrassed to have a party starting at 12:30 and not provide a full meal.  I don't know of any other Indian (or other Asian) who would even consider doing that.  It is definitely a cultural difference.  [/quote]

+ 1.

Absolutely.  I do not know any Asian family that would not provide a full meal if a party happens to be  at meal times.  I would also expect that if a party did happen to be at  meal time, that they would still provide beverages and snacks, if not a full meal.

This was a white person's question and it could very well be a cultural difference.  Hospitality is a big aspect of Asian culture. Feeding guests and anticipating and providing for their physical comfort, and making them feel welcome - is what good hospitality is all about.
