- Take a tray
- Take some food
But not for the unitiated such as myself. You see, there is one plate and 2 little bowls next to it. There are about 5 dishes to choose from. What to do. I can't ask the canteen servers because they don't speak English very well and I can see the amused look in their eyes as they watch me flounder. Instead I quickly smash a bit of each dish into the closest receptacle and rush to sit at a table with my back to everyone so they can't see how wrong I got it. On my way to the table I try to surreptitiously look at how everyone else does it. Fordsburg friends, please save me from the mortification!

OMG. Just went to lunch and my “friend” was already there. Hmmppfff, well I don’t need him anyway. I worked it out myself. The two most liquidy things go in the bowls in this case dal and yoghurty sauce (not sure of actual name) and the rest goes on the plate. Right?
Looking forward to mud land enormously although more for the good company than the mushy peas.
Thanks Fae. Yes they do have chapati. Have them with every meal. Love them.
