Today I had to go to a kurdish village as a guest. Long story short, they killed a sheep for me and my family and we have waited for a few hours, despite their sincerety due I'm being generally cold I didn't talk much and they openly expressed they thought I was a pretentious snob.
When the dinner started they made 8-9 of their children wait while we eating, endisciplining your children is common here so I'm get used to harsh parents but until I seen I thought such behaviour was compatriot exageration, never seen a father treating his children like 2nd class citizen before, seeing a kid hugging his fathers leg and fathers shrugging him off broke my heart despite I'm not love angel in a slghtest way, neverthless I wanted kids eat with us because it felt really weird feasting while poor children watching me. The children were really hesistant anyway and they left after a eating only a little.
They didn't disrespect me and just like us they take great offence when you reject their food and offerings. The 'bruteness' is tolerable since I prefer honest over fake niceness any day but I still felt quite uneasy there.
