Vlogger Kristen Fischer, who relocated from the US, took to social media to reveal the biggest cultural difference she experienced after moving to India . In an Instagram post shared last week, Fischer shared what's different between the dinner parties in India and America - something which she is still having a hard time adjusting to. The woman revealed that in US, guests are served dinner right at the beginning of the party whereas in India, it is the complete opposite.
"I am used to being served food right away when coming to someone's home for dinner. I am always sitting there hungry and wondering when food will be served every time," she captioned her video. A post shared by Kristen Fischer (@kristenfischer3) "In India, the conversation is before the meal and in America, the conversation is after the meal," Fischer revealed.
"I honestly still don't get it. How do you serve guests hours after they arrive? Wouldn't the food be cold? Or I would have to be in the kitchen making the food the whole time and not enjoying being with my guests," she further wrote.

Her post garnered reactions from many viewers who concurred to this practice. "In India, it’s considered rude to serve food immediately after someone arrives. Once, my mother served food to my aunt within half an hour of her coming over.
My aunt felt offended and stopped visiting us. Later, we found out from others that she thought we served the food so quickly to make her leave early. My mom had to apologize!" a user commented.
"Oh yeah, that’s so true! We always hang out first; the rest comes later. What you can do is prepare everything before the guests arrive," wrote another. ALSO SEE: Irish Vlogger Debunks Claims About 'Dirty' Delhi; Netizens Divided Over His Experience (Image: Instagram/@kristenfischer3).
