WILD TOFU SAFARI PARK

It struck me that there are good reasons not to eat with white people OR subcontinentals unless you actually know them quite well and are on very good terms with them. In which case you can forgive them for acting like Midwesterners and Punjabis.
If they are Midwestern, explain to them gently if needed that it's edible food, it has flavour, it has texture. If Indian, explain the same, and ignore their overconfident assertion that whatever it is, it is far better in Hyderabad or Lucknow (it really isn't).

Also, take it for granted that they are all attitudenal.
Superiorist snoot, is, sadly, universal.

Far too often white people or Indians will come into a place where I have found something good to eat, look at everything, then walk out without saying anything to the staff or purchasing a damned thing.

What, this ain't good enough for you?

By the way, "please" and "thank you" are normal parts of speech, and may be employed advantageously. People appreciate it when you say words like that.
Think of them as social lubricants.

At a few of the places at where I eat, the tourists frequently enter. Sometimes as customers. Sometimes merely to gawk at these outer space aliens eating unidentifiable substances that are never sold in Ohio or Delhi my goodness what is that pinkish stuff that looks like actual meat next to the green things that could in a different universe be vegetables?

Do outer space aliens eat real honest-to-goodness food? Food food? Is that what all those shops along Stockton Street are selling? How very strange!

All those UFO sightings in the vast interior of this country were probably just strangers in a Volkswagen bus trying to get through Arizona and Wyoming as fast as their little wheels could carry them. Before the locals noticed.
