I Couldn’t Explain Bubu-duke well

When I talked with my co-workers yesterday, I couldn’t think of how to say something in English immediately.

My Vietnamese co-worker said that we should be careful if the Nouth Vietnamese people invite us to dinner when we visit their house. It often means a reminder for us to go home.

I wanted to say that there is a similar culture in Kyoto, Japan. I’ve heard that when the Kyoto people want guests to leave, they say that would you like to eat “ぶぶ漬け (Bubu-duke)”?

*ぶぶ漬け…The different name for a menu which is tea over rice

However, I wasn’t able to explain about that well.

Because I confused at that time, should I use “I” as if I’m a Kyoto person? Or, should I use “they”? Which is better? Also, how should I explain “ぶぶ漬け”? I thought about a variety of things at the same time, my brain ended up being frozen.

I have to practice speaking more.

PS

This story about Kyoto is just a rumor. My friend from Kyoto is very kind.
