I forgot to include in the above- At any event where large amounts of food are served, it is traditional in the Inuit culture to show up with a box or several bags and take home as much food as one can carry.
For the reasons I stated earlier.
But, boy, does that offend MY cultural perspective....
But when in Rome..... I practised Italian - descretely... I was, after all, one of the Haves. Sort of - but Nolouqui (white).
Spelling might be off....
