Diet Coke on the diabetic shelf

There is only one sort of diet soda.Diet Coke in a can which is marketed to diabetics.  You even find it on designated "diabetic" shelves in the grocery store.

US Krispy Kreme donuts opened up a shop and Indians think the donuts are to sweet. Have you ever tried Indian sweets?  They are sweeter than sugar and I feel like my teeth are evaporating every time I have some.  I love a little cardamom ball called Gulab Jamon and eat it with thick Indian cream or curd (yoghurt)

They don't serve beef at Mcdonalds, only chicken.  They have Maharajaha Mac on the meny, but it is really bad. Go for the grilled paneer (thick white cheese) instead.

Eating fast food is for rich people.  It is more expensive than restaurants.  A meal for two at Subway is around 800rs where you can buy a huge meal at Nandhini for 400rs.

If you are invited to an Indian household for dinner,  the hostess will not eat,  sit to the side and only serve her family and guests.

If you don't eat a family serving of rice they complain that you don't eat enough.

The most popular foreign food is Chinese,  but it tastes Indian.

There is a dish called Chicken 65 with how many spices? (65)

When arriving here everything tastes spicy eveb the red pizza sauce or the crust on chicken nuggets.  After a while you are used to it.

Food is inexpensive.  I did online shopping the other day and did not pay attention to all the details,  only looked at price.....so when the vegetables arrived hehe....one shopping bag of green beans, one for spinach etc. When you open the fridge it is like opening a door to the forest.
