[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'm the person you quoted.  I have no problem hosting a party without a FULL meal, but without food?  Or just drinks and cake?  Not happening in my family or Asian friends.  If my party includes 11:30-1:00 or 5:30-7:00 then there will be a full meal.  Otherwise, there will be a ton of appetizers (hot and cold) and snacks.  We usually have enough food leftover to go 2-3 days without needing to cook again after a party regardless of whether it is at meal time or not.  We often joke that if I don't have enough food to feed twice as many people as show up that I feel Asian guilt.[/quote]

:lol: I agree.

I am so paranoid that I will run out of food that I  often cook more than what we will consume. I  always have enough left over that my guests can take food home as well.

Food is inexpensive in this country. I cannot fathom why people act stingy where food is concerned.  I have a mix of homemade, semi-homemade and store bought food for my guests - it is so easy to be hospitable in this country because there is food to suit everyone's budget and taste..  [/quote]
