Food Preparation
You cannot assume that your past experiences with a person from a
particular culture can be applied to everyone from that culture. It is
important to seek more information by asking your consumer questions
about his/her culture and what kinds of foods he/she may prefer to eat and
at what time of the day he/she prefers to eat a large meal. These foods
and meals may be different from what you are used to eating.
Communicating with your consumer about his/her needs and how to shop
for and prepare enjoyable food during the authorized hours will help to
keep your consumer healthy and happy.
