Romani culture does not differ from the culture of gadjo.It has its purpose, namely the maintenance of the community and family at its very core.At the same time we have to always bear in mind that Romani culture, as other cultures, is not static but dynamic, and is influenced by a number of variations and changes.Inevitably, social changes lead to cultural changes.The reality of Romani culture is a complicated and multi-layered problem that has to be solved in the future.The matter of employment of Romani people in hospitality and gastronomy has its origin in their education.Romani children are not very much interested in jobs of cooks or waiters, and they do not apply for studies at secondary schools providing gastronomy and hospitality education.A Romani student is considered rather an exception.
