My friend attended the wedding of a coworker; the wedding was a traditional Chinese wedding, including the food. She knew that she would'nt be able to eat the dishes served, so she planned to skip the reception. But, she stayed, and asked the manager if there was something else she could eat. She said she could tell the manager was a bit uncomfortable, but he found other food for her.
I say this was rude, inappropriate, and very poor etiquette; especially because of the different culture. I believe this would be viewed as rude in the Chinese culture. I said she should have eaten later/before or excused herself and left the reception. Again, she knew the menu in advance. She insists that what she did was OK. Anyone have an opinion?
