[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since your husband was born in the US, he may not o ow whatever customs may have caused her behavior. I’ve seen families from various parts of India bring their own food instead of eat in a restaurant. The women went to the car, brought back the containers and set up the meal at tables outside the National Aquarium. It’s not the same as your catered meal, but I do know for some Indian cultures (it’s a huge country with lots of differences between regions) some people bring their own food to things. [/quote] OP again. It’s interesting, because my regular extended family meals are always potluck. (Not big events like this, but things like Thanksgiving, or Mothers Day, or whatever.) And DH thought it was totally weird and swears up and down that his family would never do that because it would be totally rude and imply that the hosts couldn’t feed you. But maybe his family’s traditions have changed over time, too? [/quote]
