Quite a few Basque live in San Francisco. Some of them participate in the tradition of selling seats at the table. In this you request an invitation to join the family at a meal in which you pay for the costs of the meal. I have done this, and everyone was very friendly although much more comfortable conversing in French than English. They had a family business making hand crafted iron work pieces that were quite expensive and very popular. This was in the '70s, so perhaps it is fading away. I don't know.No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai
