When should hosts offer guests a snack?

A mum's viral social media post sparks debate about hosting etiquette after she complained about not being offered food during a lengthy visit to someone's home, receiving only tea upon arrival. The discussion explores different perspectives on when hosts should offer snacks or meals to guests, with opinions ranging from offering food before guests leave their cars to using the absence of food as a subtle signal that it's time to leave. Context of the visit, duration of stay, and cultural expectations around hospitality are examined as factors in determining appropriate hosting behaviour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
