Yes, in most cultures, it’s a common and expected gesture of hospitality to offer at least a drink (like water, coffee, or tea) and often a small snack or meal to guests—especially when they’re visiting your home. It’s a way to make them feel welcome and cared for.
That said, the extent can vary based on:
· Closeness: Good friends or family might expect more casual or frequent offerings.
· Timing: A meal-time visit often implies sharing food.
· Culture: In some cultures, refusing to offer food can be seen as unwelcoming.
When in doubt, it’s always kind to offer something simple. It’s more about the thought than the extravagance.
