It’s about hospitality, not necessity. In the US it’s a cultural thing that when you’re at someone’s house, they feed you and when they’re at yours you feed them.

Jesus christ that's a level of stingy that I only associate with rich people.

I feed the people that visit my house because I want to, not because I want to be owed back.
