TIPS FOR FOOD & DRINK:



The best thing you can try when you reach a place and dont know where or what to eat is PIZZA, which you can order by phone. Refer to the yellow pages or consult the motel receptionist you are staying in, for information.

A Continental breakfast is cheap and the best. If you are confused about an item in the menu, dont feel shy to ask if its a vegetarian ingredient or not.

To be sure about Vegetarian items, always ask for items with NO Meat rather than just saying VEGETARIAN, since Fish is sometimes considered vegetarian.

And remember that a CHEESEBURGER is a misnomer. It contains meat besides cheese, so be careful! If you are ordering soup, please mention very clearly that you want vegetable stock and not chicken stock in your soup. Most soup in the American kitchen comes with the basic chicken stock.

Be sure to say NO ICE if you prefer to have your drink without ice.

Some vegetables have different names in the USA. For example: okra instead of ladies-finger, egg-plant instead of brinjals and so on.

At the restaurants, you wont be given finger bowls. Youll have to use paper napkins.
