Royal Sweets

This weekend I drove to Carrollton to visit a restaurant called Royal Sweets.  At this restaurant they serve traditional Indian snacks and desserts.  I was nervous to go because I was alone and did not know what to order or if I would even like the foods.  I was afraid that if I did not like something it would offend the people that work there.  When I was at the restaurant I had some difficulty understanding the workers because of their thick accents.  I was embarrassed that I had to keep asking them to repeat themselves, but they were patient with me.  They were surprised to hear that I was a vegetarian and this opened a door to conversation.  They were very nice and let me sample many dishes before I bought anything.  They were very willing to talk to me, and loved that I had chosen to study their culture.  I liked most of the food, and I choked down anything I did not like so I would not offend them.  I learned that food is a very big part of their culture.  It is present at any and all gatherings, and is even made for everyday house guest.  In Indian it is proper customs to prepare food and sweets for guests to welcome them into your home.
