What to expect when you enter a Gujarati house

Heavenly food.. Kadhi, Dhoklas, pickled chiles, raita, and these lovely chickpea flour spinach fritters that I can't quite remember the Indian name for.  I think they're called methi na gota (fenugreek pakoras.
Fabulous royal treatment.

Try and eat with your hands, eat very little if you're making several stops, because no matter what time of day you visit, expect to be eating something.  This was just the appetizer.  We left and came back, and had the main course (which I didn't photograph).

Only one thing, no matter how much they insist or how sincere they are... stick to bottled water!
