If you are in Nepal for more than a few days, you will be invited to somebody's home for a delicious meal of daal bhaat (lentils and rice). Nepal is changing quickly, but some households might prefer you to follow a few rules of etiquette: 1) Bring a hostess gift and be sure to give it to the mother of the house: a kilo of fresh fruit and a bottle of juice is perfect. 2) Eat with your right hand only. 3) Don't share food that's on your plate and don't touch the main dishes with your own utensil. (This will make the meal "polluted" and then the family might have to do a purification ritual!) 4) Eat all of the food on your plate. 5) Ask for seconds, and you'll be the favorite guest.
