I was considering cooking meen puttu, a flaked-fish dish flavored with South Indian spices, to take to a multicultural event where people exchange recipes and sample food. In reading more about the event, I quickly realized that the food for sampling was prepared by the members of the hosting culture, American Turkish families. Since this was the only event in a series of other events that I would be able to attend, I was not sure if I should take something along. I contacted one of the ladies who organized the event to ask.
