    Some etiquette for eating in banana leaf.
    1.always sprinkle and wipe before eating.
    2.the pointy side of leaf should be always towards your left.
    3. Side dishes are served on the top portion ans main dishes on the bottom portion.
    4.side dishes they served here are salt, gooseberry pickle, cabbage poriyal- sauted veg, some sort of aviyal - steames vegetables, kootu - veg with lentil and coconut, vada, papadam- a rice crisp, mor melagai.
    4. The main dishes served here are rice, nei paruppu-lentil with ghee, sambar, rasam- soupy dish with tamarind, cumin and pepper. Curd. Usually theyre eaten in this order sambar, vatha/puli kulambu ( a thick sour dish with dry/fresh veg), butter or curd, finally rasam and then dessert.
    5. After the meal you fold your leaf towards you if you liked the meal, away from you if yourenot satisfied.
    6. Salt and pickle are always served first.
    7. You can mix and match anything but never mix bread and rice.

This looks like a more sustainable environment from the sensory overload of Chennai :) love exploring the side streets, local markets, and everyone is so friendly. Even though we aren't going to the east coast your videos are getting us excited about our trip.
