Breaking Bread together” is a phrase that from ancient times has been a symbol of amity and fellowship. In 1959, when I became an Indian Foreign Service wife at the age of twenty-one, I realised that hospitality, both proffered and enjoyed, would be a large part of my diplomatic life. Being sentimental, I saved some Invitation Cards we received as mementoes; also, as a record of our own diplomatic journey through the years and a reflection of changing attitudes to food and entertaining.
