Oh, yummy Indian food....one of my absolute favourites! Here is a sample of what we ate at the wedding: vegtable noodles, curd rice and red onion, butter chicken, mutton curry, etc. I have never eaten so well as my three weeks in India! One interesting cultural note: most Indian meals are eaten using only your fingers on your right hand, including at fancy wedding receptions. Initially I had to sit on my left hand so not to use it by mistake, as it is perceived as dirty. It is rather hard to tear bread with only one hand, but I managed to do it well by the end. If you refuse to eat with your hand, then you would be provided with a spoon for your right hand and a fork for you left: never a knife! Personally I think food actually tastes better when eaten with your hand, but that is up for debate.  Posted by Hello
