Our homestay organised a party for us to say goodbye. The volunteers and I cooked them some English food and they organised a party for us with music and our favourite Sri Lankan foods. We had a fish curry and some Indian style pancakes/poppadoms with a weird name I can't remember. We cooked them Spaghetti Bolognese and only when we were half way through did I remember they don't eat beef, because cows are sacred and "useful" to them. All I ever see cows do is walk along the roads getting in peoples way and eating rubbish from rubbish pits! So we cooked them spaghetti with tomato sauce and vegetables. They said it was yummy but when we asked if they wanted any more they said they were full but still ate more of their own fish curry! Now they understand how we felt when we tried their foods for the first time and had to pretend to like it. As the time went on we emphasised how amazing the foods were that we actually did like and they began to only give us the food we enjoyed the most.
