Who Pays the Bill in France?! 🇫🇷 | Indian vs French Dinner Culture 🍽️ | Masala & Salsa Podcast Clip

In this hilarious yet eye-opening clip from Episode 6 of the Masala & Salsa Podcast, Masala (Priyanjana from India 🇮🇳) and Salsa (Andrea from Mexico 🇲🇽) share their experiences navigating dinner etiquette in France. Who pays in a friendly or corporate setting? What happens when cultures clash over the simple act of eating together?

Coming from India, where sharing food and bills is the norm, Priyanjana reflects on how weird it feels when French people don’t pass the plate around or expect everyone to pay their own part, even in close friendships. Meanwhile, Andrea shares how Mexican dinner customs compare and how adapting to French norms hasn’t always been smooth.
