• Take along peptobismol pills
• Always eat curds (yogurt) with your food. It’s the only thing (besides bananas, locally called “plaintains”) that will cut the “karam” (chili spice) heat of the food.
• Drink plenty of water. Use bottled (sealed) water, hot tea/coffee, bottled soft drinks, or cocoanut milk. Use bottled water also for brushing your teeth. (Safest water I believe is produced by Coca Cola or Pepsi)
• If you need a spoon, you will need to ask for it or bring one along. Typically, people eat with their (right) hand.
• Belching is not offensive.
• People usually don’t converse while eating.
• If you come unannounced to someone’s home, people don’t like to be disturbed while they are eating.
• When you are a guest for a meal, often the hosts will simply serve you and watch you eat.
• When you are a guest for a meal, typically you socialize before the meal and leave soon afterwards.
• Because of all the rice, your stools will be less and loose. If you need to go more than twice a day, you may have diarrhea and you should take an Immodium pill. It’s good to keep diarrhea medicine with you wherever you go, as you never know when it may strike.
• Don’t eat fresh fruit and vegetables that you cannot peel.
• Your tea/coffee will always be with milk and sugar.
• Don’t drink any alcohol or smoke in public. It’s offensive.
• Wash your hands well before eating. You may need to have your own soap or wetwipes.
• Sugar is sweeter and salt is saltier than here.
• Butter, jam, and cereal are very expensive.
• Don’t ever complain about the food. Adjust.
• I prefer eating vegetarian Indian food. It digests more easily and is always well cooked.
• You wash your hand after the meal. People will show you where, sometimes by pouring a cup with your left hand over your right hand outside on the ground.
• Sometimes you need to take your banana leaf (on which you often eat the meal) and its leftover food outside and throw it on the ground for the dogs and goats to finish off.
