A cultural dilemma I have had was when I was younger where I brought food to an invitation to eat. So when I was younger I used to be very active through out the day. As a result of that I used to get very hungry and eat a lot. At home I wasn't allowed to enter the kitchen before everyone else had made their plate. So I used to buy food with my allowance whenever I could, so I didn't get hungry. When I got invited to sleep over at a friend's house, I thought if I went there without my own food they wouldn't have enough to accommodate me. So I brought my own food to the sleep over, and I did not share it. This did not sit right with the people I went over too. It was seen as disrespectful, as me telling them they are not able to buy enough food for a guest they invited to their home.
To solve this problem I could've brought over food for everyone and present it as a token of appreciation for inviting me over. I also could've eaten before going over so I didn't have to bring over any food at all.
