And yes, if you finish all, that means you need more. The tricky part is: if you leave too much, the hosts will consider you don't like their food/drink offering. This is considered rude.<BR/><BR/>A tradition is a tradition. If you really like the food but don't need more, go ahead to finish it and simply tell the host that you are fine. Not to waste food is a virtue nowadays.Oliver Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482357893907021007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526846113664982183.post-89395343629436188282008-08-24T22:15:00.000-07:002008-08-24T22:15:00.000-07:00Just a note for you.
