New relatives from India to visit. Any advice would be much appreciated.

RE: New relatives from India to visit. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Funny and thanks! I messaged my new niece for guidance and she said

Quote:Dad and Mom both enjoy black tea and chai. I honestly wouldn't worry too much about the snacks -- both Mom and Dad are difficult. Dad pretty much only eats vegetarian Indian food and French Fries, and Mom is avoiding carbohydrates for health reasons.

So looks like most of you were right to some degree or other (Min eerily so). I think Steel is right not to risk butchering an indian recipe. But I do make a pretty nice veggie sandwich with grated carrot with raisins on bread with ginger chutney on one side and garlic hummus on the other. I think I'll risk it. Could work. We have a lot of indian food and markets in Berkeley so I'll see if I can find some Rusk cake since I'm curious to try it myself. Finish it off with some cut up watermelon and possibly other fruit. Scones is a solid, traditional choice which I'll go with. And while I'm looking for some rusk cake I'll see if I can find a little Nag Champa and burn it somewhere in the garden just to see if they notice.

Thanks you all!
