Definitely did not misunderstand as I'm Indian too and realize everything starts late. The difference is that when hosts are hospitable there are tons of appetizers and drinks - as the PP said you can easily fill up if you don't realize dinner is next. In this case it was one mini samosa and coke and little else for 3 hrs for a bunch of teens. And the lack of hospitality was also demonstrated by random family members saying in Hindi - who are these kids, why are they still here etc. if you're saying such things above a whisper about your guests, you should make sure no one in the group you're talking about speaks the same language.[/quote]

They were totally rude. Every Asian party I have been too has an overwhelming amount of food; whether it's appetizers, entrees or whatever, no one is expected to subsist on one snack for 3 hrs. In fact hosts expect you to eat and feel like you're not having a good time or your needs aren't provided for if you're not eating; sometimes you have to convince them that you're having a great time but one 5 course meal is all you can handle![/quote]

Depends. Chronic lateness of getting ethnic food delivered from small home operated caterers is actually pretty typical. SIL is from a culture where you get food for parties from this one person who makes this arcane delicacy --the caterer will do this for extra money and always has some life interruption which prevents them from ever delivering food at the appointed time...I've gotten used to this and it is worth the wait as the food is indescribably delicious and authentic.[/quote]
