Lesson 16 Key Conversation Taking a Double Portion

Jessica: Wow! This food looks so amazing, Deepa. Thank you so much for inviting us over for dinner. Just one question, though. Where are the utensils?

Deepa: We don't need utensils for Indian food, Jess. We can eat with our hands. Just break off some of the naan bread and use that.

Jessica: Wow, I can't believe you don't use any utensils when eating. It sounds like a lot of fun.

Deepa: It is, but you'll get used to it. Here, try this curry. It's a bit milder than some of the other stuff here.

Jessica: OK. Do you think it'd be acceptable if I took a double portion of that then?

Deepa: No problem. Eat as much as you like. There's plenty to go around.

Jessica: Hey, Chuck! Why don't you climb on the bandwagon too?

Deepa: Yeah, Chuck. Try some of that curry over there. I heard you like spicy foods, so I think that one's right up your alley.

Jessica: Deepa, this food is really delicious. What do you call it again?

Deepa: Butter chicken. It's my favorite dish with naan and rice.
