[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so offensive and insulting when I go to the home of a friend of another culture and they have a nice spread of their food for dinner and then some random 'white people food' also tossed on the table.  I'm not a picky eater at all and will try everything once.  I also have no issues with spice.  Even good friends will do this, like people I've known for years.  I was at a dinner party about a month or so ago with a fantastic spread of Indian foods.  Some of the best I've had, honestly, and then a smaller table with hot dogs, potato chips, and dip.  Like really?  Of course no one ate the hot dogs and then the hosts were a bit put off by the waste of that food.  They made To Go bags of hot dogs for all us white people to take home.

Those are usually for kids who are happier with familiar foods.

Also, perhaps you are not a picky eater and are okay with spicy food but rest assured that many folks have a hard time with them. We are from a different part of India and don’t usually serve the typical North Indian food which local restaurants do. I cannot expect everyone to even begin to understand how to eat what we serve.

It would be good if you could graciously take it as them being accommodating and not insulting. It’s not something negative, only you are turning it into that. [/quote]
