[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]
Ok, lots of people of all races bring their own food to eat at attractions, because it's usually really expensive. I've seen way more white people do stuff like this.

Indian people in the US may be more loath to eat at restaurants, because many are strict vegetarians. Some are strict enough that they won't eat food that was prepared with the same utensils etc. In addition, a lot of Indian people find American food (especially the kind of food you'd find in a cafeteria) to be bland and tasteless.[/quote]
