I still remembered my old man who kept on telling us to bring some food when visiting someone. It is a family culture that needs to pass on from one generation to another. It does not being practiced by one of our cousins on my father's side. He and his family are always visiting us every week. They never bring anything to eat.
My family and I are not stingy when it comes to having some visitors. We let them eat and have snacks before they leave the house.
What's your family practice with this concern?

We're not expectd to bring anything, unless we're aware ahead of time we're attending a pot luck. Which is a gathering where everyone is responsible for bringing at least one dish.

Yes, I do this. I usually bring cake or sweets. Something that everyone eats.

It's also call being polite. We're not told to do it, but we learn from the elders and then do it. I would bring fruit or food to the family I'm visiting. It's not compulsory, but it's a part of the culture. Some people no longer practice this these days.

Sounds like a good tradition, but people don't always do it.

in our country,bringing presents when you visit others at festival is age-old tradition.but in normal time,whether bringing present depends on intention of your visit.if just for business,no need.but if for eating party,we will bring presents,never get empty on hand.
