A Canadian attends an Indian wedding, and is intrigued by the banana leaf plate and the bare-chested priest
Music in the air. Flowers everywhere. Women in colorful saris, well-dressed men, kids playing around. As soon as I got out of the car, I knew this would be a special day. I have attended several weddings in Canada. But this was the first time I was invited to an Indian wedding.
I tried to enter the main hall with the group I was with, but was stopped by Indian hospitality. "Breakfast, breakfast first," we were told. I tried to protest saying I just had breakfast, but ended up sitting by a long table. A banana leaf appeared in front of me. Then a waiter dressed in white got a bit impatient with my inaction. "Wash, wash," he told me.
I finally understood I had to wash the leaf with water because it would be my plate. Sorry my friend! In the cold country I live in, tree leaves are so small that if you would try to use them as plates in a wedding, you would end-up with a riot of underfed guests.
But there was no risk of being underfed at this wedding. What seemed like an endless army of waiters started to pass one by one, pouring all kinds of colorful food on my banana leaf.
