Have you ever tried swedish food?
What did you think of it?
I have eaten meatballs with mashed potatoes as well as falukorv
They were pretty good, the falukorv was especially considering how cheap

i dont get it, yuropoors explain this please?
The joke is about a dutch (who is stingy and will send you a request to pay -a Tikkie- for a stick of gum he gave you yesterday) visiting a swede who will let you wait upstairs while he eats dinner without inviting you.
Why are white people like this?
Only scandicucks are like that
cold land, cold hearts
I've read that it's something to do with food being not as plentiful in colder climates and thus having food is seen as a sign of success. Offering someone food brings the implication that they don't have enough and therefore don't have their shit together. So it's basically like an insult.
No clue if true.
That wouldn't make sense for Russia then, it's colder than Scandinavia yet they're very likely to share food with you
But they just want to fuck your sweet boipucci
>it's colder than Scandinavia
it's not. 80%+ of russians live in areas warmer than Germany.
It doesnt make sense because the graph is bullshit mednagger bait.
That sounds like Med way of thinking, Nordics are just stone cold, nothing more complicated than that
My family always offered dinner when I had friends over, but their parents got really upset when we did for some reason.

No. It's obvious a sign of a stingy society that didn't get it's shit together after the Wars. Fact: most people were broke as fuck.
Look at the whole of the Earth, and it's a norm to be offered as guests. Even the great Nordic mead halls were places of sharing. Ultimately, their stinginess is from being so traumatized by shortages after the war that they forgot decency.
Stingy? We fucking give you retards everything economically. What more do you want? For us to kiss your collective asses? Get over yourselves you worthless parasitical cunts.
What do they want?
Some common courtesy for you to offer some food when they are over you fucking selfish retard. This is standard behavior even in poor countries.
alla skrattar gott, suedi
You give us nothing even after we rebuilt your countries. Without us, Russia would rape your asses and leave you with borscht WHICH YOU STILL WOULDN'T SHARE YOU STINGY TWATS!
Average Nordic. Not just physically cucked, but mentally
That's what tipping is for.
could be a part of it sure, but I think it's got more to do witha long tradition of planning and rationing food for winter etc. also why a lot of our most traditional food sucks and are mostly abandoned. I'm not sure exactly what they mean by being offered food however. there's a big difference between being invited for dinner and just hanging out when its almost time for dinner.
I like the red way of thinking
they are honest and honorable
not being fake generous but working an angle and probably being a dumb normie and criminal as well
Imagine being such a suHispanicious jaded piece of shit that you think anyone offering to share things with you is being disingenuous and fake
they are though
nope
sorry you live in a low trust society
notice how all the high trust societies are red on the map?
lmao yeah such high trust
nothing to do with trust
>w-hat you are not breathing down other peoples necks when you are in public? how rude!

>take up as much space as possible and make the bus wait for the last person in line to walk a kilometer to board
Sensible and very not neurotic
>he doesn't arrive exactly when the previous person is done paying
small brain
I am genuinely sorry for whatever experiences you have had that made you think a desire to be hospitable to guests was based on some disingenuous intent.
As an American I can assure you both my and everyone I am friendly withs intent has always been to make guests feel welcomed and show them that I value our relationship.
I hope you can experience that some day. Come visit and I will happily cook you a meal and share my table.

Is this what it's like to live in a low trust society?
I trust northern euros 100x as much as south/east
already dealt with lying romanians before
offering some trinket for free is a classic swindler tactic
Sharing food, coffee/tea, and alcohol with guests in your house is not the same thing as a vagrant gypsy on the street trying to dupe you into lowering your guard so he can stab you and steal your wallet
Only on Culinaly
you sound like a shitty person
I go to Ikea once a year and eat meatballs for lunch there, does that count?
This image is so weird. I live in the UK and always thought it was common courtesy to offer at least tea and snacks to a guest, even if they are just popping in. Maybe it's just an old tradition that's dying out.
No idea, I remember watching an old WWII video intended for american GIs about how to behave in England, and they said it was common even during the war rationing for british families to offer food to guests. From what I've heard it mostly is just scandis that are weird about it, but they all have a very special form of antisocial autism that's molded their entire culture for centuries
I would offer frens tea and snacks if I had any
Maybe they define "food" as an actual meal, rather than just a cuppa and a few Rich Teas.
Tea is traditional, snacks is unusually generous.
Depends on context.
Most people usually get some biscuits if they know people/workers are coming over. Could be dependent on how much notice you have.
It's not a real map. A retard on reddit made it
Again, it's not real. It does not represent anything except a deranged redditor's delusions.
There's no data source and the geographic (like in Germany) boundaries are random - it's literally just a squiggly line that doesn't follow terrain, municipal boundaries, or anything except when the redditor lazily drew it with his laptop mouse.
Iceland, what are you doing down there?
iceland actually moves around a lot, it's usually depicted just south east of greenland because that's where it was when first discovered
That's Atlantis.

As finn. Its becouse very few people know how to cook. If you know how to cook. And you start giving it to others. You will never be at peace. People will keep coming week after week to eat.
Food is more expensive here then eu avarage. It gets really expensive when you start to feed other peoples.
For instance my brother. When ever he is visiting. He eats 2x more then anyone else. Then he chugs down 1-2l of milk.
My sister destroys any cheese in fridge. 2 day visit and 1kg of cheese gone.
tbh this doesn't make it sound any better. I don't wish to insult, but does honour just not exist over there?
Not really. Its really bleak.
When ever i visit my brother. There is so little food that i always leave hungry. Becouse he offers laughably little food.
When ever my brother visits. He destroy small family worth of food.
What is solution for this? You stop offering food.
>2 day visit and 1kg of cheese gone
imagine the smell
I have never understood this. How fucked up do your guts have to be to get gassy from eating some cheese or drinking some milk?
It's their genes. They lack proper northern European lineage due to inbreeding with various mutt races, so they've lost the simple ability to digest diary properly.
as a finn when I was a kid it was seen as an insult to your friend's parents if my parents asked them if they were hungry, as if they could not keep their own kids in check.
Nowdays I basically cook to anyone who bothers to visit and is hungry. Otherwise they'll get coffee and stale biscuits.
If someone came over to my house without me knowing in advance then I won't have enough to also give him a plate but I usually have drinks or snacks and he's free to have some without getting sent a tikkie.
t. Dutch
I forgot to say that when I mention not having enough I mean dinner. If I know in advance someone will be coming over for dinner then i'll prepare accordingly
Why does Sicily get a unique color?
They're likely to feed you, then feed you to their pigs.
It's because we're paying taxes out the ass to feed and clothe the entire fucking world so our politicians can posture and virtue signal to get jobs in NGO's.
This is just reddit bs.
I had friends over for dinner all the time and vice versa.
What might be true, is that you if didn't say that you were going to have friends over there might not be enough food for them. We usually don't prepare big dinners on weekdays so if your friend happened to show up there might not be enough for that kid. Most swedes were fucking poor a few decades ago.
Seems like a protestant thing
This map is too vague. Is it talking about mealtimes, or at any time? Invited guests or uninvited guests? What about people who won't offer you food but will happily give you food if you ask?
The red mindset is that if you have some friend of your kid over, you can't know for sure if the friend's family is making dinner for them when they return home, and it might be considered extremely rude to feed some other family's kid and either make the other family cook food in vain, or overfeeding the kid without the family knowing. It's best to not offer food unless you know for sure they're like staying over for the night or something, because you can expect the kid's family to feed them once they get home.
Back in the 90's we had these weird things called "phones" where one parent could use it to talk remotely with the other kid's parent and coordinate dinner plans.
I don't remember ever hanging out at any friends house around dinner time, even when it was unplanned, and the other parent not offering to mine to cook for me, or the other way around.
Even my poor friends parents would offer to make me dinner, even if it was just hotdogs or a ham sandwich. I genuinely cannot comprehend a cultural mindset in which you wouldn't offer food to your guests as a part of reasonable hospitality. It's just a decent human impulse to want to show your friends and your children's friends that they are appreciated and valued.
And I don't want to hear any "food is expensive" nonsense. A sandwich with some deli meat and cheese costs next to nothing and even very poor countries embrace the idea of offering food as basic hospitality.
Amerigolems are weird, I cannot wrap my head around your "culture". For one, Is it considered normal to have uninvited guests? secondly, is it really considered normal or polite to serve them actual food? I am used to having guests and serving them cakes, cookies or stuff like rolls with spreads/cold cuts on them. Coffee or tea or whatever.
If I have uninvited guests, I might not have any of that lying around to serve. You will be served coffee, a drink if you're not driving etc, maybe some cookies or whatever I might have in the cupboard.
Dinner parties are obvious, you will be served dinner... ffs.
What I cannot wrap my head around is someone randomly visiting then expecting me to feed them, that's weird as fuck. How the fuck would I know if you're hungry? why are you visitng me hungry if you are? Why can't you call ahead and give me time to get some shit together? I can only be a good host if i know I'm about to host someone.
As for the kids thing, it depends. Some weird families would not feed friends who came over, usually because they had not cooked enough, or they considered it rude by the kids family to send their kid over around dinner time. Most of the time, especially in recent years it is extremely common to invite the kid to eat with you. Less so when I was growing up, it was also weird to eat dinner with another family as I recall. I prefered not to be invited.
The culture here grew out of family units that were seperated from their neighbours by miles of harsh terrain and hostile weather. You often did not know your neighbours at all, to this day it is common to be locally racist about people who live just a few miles away. "Those people are weirdos" that's how things were here since forever, it has not been like this for but a few decades. Naturally, if you did know someone you would treat them as best you could, but only after you got to know them.
The reason you can't wrap your head around it is because you are looking at it from the entirely wrong perspective.
Nobody I ever knew either growing up or now as an adult ever showed up to someone's house and expected to be fed. Kids would definitely unexpectedly show up to the house sometimes because where I live kids can run around the neighborhood and play with their friends freely. But they weren't just popping by and saying "Hi I'm here for dinner!" Unless plans were made in advance.
Nobody would shame parents or friends for not offering to feed a guest food during a meal time. The hosts, just being decent people and wanting to share what they had with neighbors and friends would almost always offer it though. Offering food to a guest was always seen as an affirmation of both neighborly spirit and of appreciation for that individual.
Just the offering itself is a symbolic gesture that says "I value you and the relationship we have/you have with my child more than I value the 5 minutes of time and $3 it's going to cost for me to quickly prepare some food for you."
A guest asking for food would be seen as inconsiderate, but they would never need to because it was always offered. And it's not like random strangers were ever showing up asking to be let into your house. Your visitors are friends, and your childrens friends. You know them and value them otherwise they wouldn't be friends and wouldn't be showing up.
There is no external pressure or expectation of the host to provide food. The expectation comes from an internal place of wanting to show love and appreciation for friends and family. There is also an internal expectation on the part of the guest to be considerate and not impose on the goodwill of a host.
This only applies to the all/mostly white neighborhoods I have lived in, as an aside.
Then I don't see how it is any different from the US and here. Like I said, these days kids get fed by the families they visit. Even if the family orders food they will order for the kids visiting.
It's more the adult guests expecting food that gets me. It seems so goddamn weird to prepare some open faced sandwhiches if my girls uncle randomly shows up. What's wrong with coffee? I don't have a cheese board prepared for unexpected guests lying around.
> It seems so goddamn weird to prepare some open faced sandwhiches if my girls uncle randomly shows up.
That's because you're a man and your girl should be the one preparing the food for guests, like it is in 90% of the "always/likely" areas. I've never been over at someone's house and had the dad or boyfriend preparing the offered food. Please don't tell me you'd be the one expected to prepare some food when your gf's family shows up lol
Do you think it is an own to admit to being reliant on your gf for meals?
The autism you fucking nords have.
>reliant
Nothing in my post implies I'm reliant. It's an expectation that the woman prepares little dishes around the house for guests while the man would do the grilling for a sit-down bbq or dinner. It would be weird for a dude to be in the kitchen making open-faced sandwiches. Mine makes dinner every night because she doesn't have to work and I work late, but I guess that would be "reliant" in your imbecile lingenberry mind
But yeah, you got me with that sick own of being reliant on someone else for the highly-skilled craft of ham sandwiches.
Yeah, as if I did not already know this, but this thread cemented it burgers are fucking weird.
>can't understand basic social decorum
>"Actskually you're reliant if you don't put on an apron and make open-faced sandwiches for your girlfriend's uncle when he shows up unannounced!!!"
Dude, I think you need to take a look in the mirror.
swedes are the most cucked people in history, "we" would unironically do that
t. swede
Yeah I get it, you're buttblasted for being called out, you don't need to embelish to this extent though.
No wonder you fuckers need mobility scooters to get anywhere, can't even say hello to eachother before you try to shove food into your maws.
>"It seems so goddamn weird to prepare some open faced sandwhiches if my girls uncle randomly shows up"
>"That's because you're a man and your girl should be the one preparing the food for guests"
>"you think it is an own to admit to being reliant on your gf for meals"
You seriously think it's an exaggeration for me to say there's something weird if you, as the boyfriend/man, are expected to make open-faced sandwiches for you girl's male relatives when they show up? I was on your side retard because making a sandwich for her uncle would be very weird, especially if she's home with you guys. You decided to sperg out about reliance because I correctly pointed out that making sandwiches is a woman's job. You know, reliance on that very fine and skilled art of putting meat on bread.
Listen to your brethren here and grow a pair. Resorting to le fat american jokes tells me I've already won.
Why are you so hung up on who's making food for friends dropping by unannoucned? What's weird isn't who is scurrying away to make food, is that you're trying to foist food on someone in the first place. A beer or cup of coffee I get, but why food?
>Why are you so hung up on who's making food for friends dropping by unannoucned?
Because it's social decorum. Just like offering someone food is social decorum, or a man not wearing lipstick and a dress is social decorum. I'm guessing you don't understand gender roles in addition to socialization? Especially in the context of feeding her male relatives when you guys are unmarried and she's with you guys?
You can offer coffee or beer, that's perfectly fine. But offering food is considerate because the guest travelled to see you and might be hungry, it's a sign of valuing the relationship by wanting to feed them, and draws out the time you spend together. It's just the nice thing to do.
I agree, if someone has travelled to see you, you provide for them and act as a good host. If they told you days in advance that they will be visiting they will be met with food, drinks and snacks. When someone drop by unannounced, I more than likely do not have anything to serve them. Maybe it is considered ok to offer coldcuts on bread in the US, it is not here. That's considered weird and would in nearly all instances be met with a weird look and a "no thank you"
You will be offered coffee or other drinks, alcoholic if they are not driving etc. If I have cakes, cookies or anything else that goes with coffee on hand, that will be offered.
No idea why you're so hung up on the girl serving. It could be either one of us, if it depended on anything it would be if the guests were say, her family then I would ready up drinks and snacks, if it were my family then she would as the other party would be engrossed in conversation.
I'm the cook of the household, I do all the cooking. Does that mean I am no longer masculine or something then? Again, I just don't get your fixation on that point.
Why do you not have food in your fridge, especially if you aren't a bachelor? If your autistic culture doesn't eat sandwiches, that's on you guys. I'm tired of doing this autistic arguing where you can't grasp that having lunch or lunch-equivalent small meals available in the fridge is some alien concept for the extremely wealthy. You are literally talking like you're an Eskimo in the depths of winter who must conserve every calorie
>No idea why you're so hung up on the girl serving.
You win, you've convinced me you're form the most cucked culture. Women are the day-to-day cooks across the world, from the civil to savage. The fact that you guys have thrown out the tradition of women cooking but kept the backwards, stingy tradition of being autistic about food tells me all I need to know. Hence why you would serve her male relatives while she's hanging around watching TV. What an awful representation of the white race
Again, we did this in France, too
Europeans brought their hospitality traditions with them when they settled across the US
This nigga thinks it's literally gay to make a sandwich. A fucking sandwich. How do you even get to this level of derangement? Would you be emasculated if your "wife" (who definitely exists) touched your grill? Do you think making a meal for guests is sissyfication?
Fragile little snowflake
asg suedi
Some of you people really are beyond retarded
Imagine being proud of not being able to cook, or thinking that hospitality is "woman's business" when gastronomy has been dominated by men for three centuries now
What do you do when you're single? Starve? Eat McDonalds all day? Lmao
You have worms in your brain. Culture war retardation has liquidated all your critical faculties
While it's less common now, yes that was and is pretty standard
It's OK to knock on a neighbor's or friend's door and ask them if they have time to chat
And most people will have a cake or treat to share with visitors
What's the worst thing that can happen? No one swings by and you have to eat a cake by yourself? Oh no
Not everyone stocks up on cakes unless there is occation to do so. I can only treat guests with what I have to treat myself with. Guess that's perhaps the only advantage of american snack culture, you always have some carbs to throw at unexpected guests.
It's more like if you plan to have friends over to hang out it's fairly typical for you to say something like "cool, I'm grilling some bratwurst for dinner, do you want me to make a couple extra ones for you guys?"
Yes, that's how it goes. I'm struggling more and more to figure out what this meme is even about.
It was the same when we lived in France
Someone might stop by and then coffee, cakes, and cigarettes would come out
Different cakes, different cigarettes, better coffee, same concept
But the last time I went back most of the extended family and friends had moved so I don't know how common it is in France now
>Is it considered normal to have uninvited guests?
Why is this the first thing your stunted paranoid brain jumps to? No one said anything about uninvited guests you obsessed moron
Because if we're talking about expected guests then what is this fucking thing even about? You will be offered food and treats if you're an expected guest you troglodyte.
Then why is the thread full of eurotards like you thinking it was about hordes of strangers showing up at your house uninvited and expecting you to feed them? Is that such a common issue in Europe that it's your automatic first assumption to think "offering food to guests" means running a soup kitchen for homeless people?
No you moron. That's the only way that fucking picture makes sense. The only way you will not be served food, snacks or treats is if you show up unannounced. If you know that you're having guests over, you will prepare to recieve them. If OP's picture is about expected guests then it is a goddamn lie. So that is the reason why everyone assumes it is referring about unexpected guests.
What I think the previous guy is pointing out is that a lot of the northern euro responses in here seem to imply that "uninvited guests" means "random stranger" to them, where as the rest of us are classifying "uninvited guest" as "friend or family member that happened to stop by on short/no notice".
The disconnect makes it seem like one group is talking about feeding people you know and the other thinks they are talking about "the mailman and any other random stranger."
Literally nobody in here on either side of this is offering or implying that you should offer to feed strangers and random people.
An unexpected guest is one of your children's friends that came over to hang out with him after playing in the neighborhood, or a friend dropping by to say hello while they return something they borrowed from you.
Some of the euro responses seem to fundamentally not grasp this difference and think that as
mentioned we are suggesting you run a neighborhood soup kitchen for literally anyone that wanders by.
I'm unsure if this is an ESL thing or if people are autistic/intentionally dense.
No, the disconnect is that burgers are self inserting themselves as the guest, not being treated as they would have expected to be treated. The reality is, that the unexpected guest, be it a friend, neighbour or family member likewise do not expect to be fed food when randomly dropping by as the american might have. They are content to recieve their cup of coffee and/or cake etc. no other expectations are made.
What's weird is that americans imagine us going "you want brunost or white cheese on your bread?" when our friend drops by to ask if he could borrow the extention cord.
>What's weird is that americans imagine us going "you want brunost or white cheese on your bread?" when our friend drops by to ask if he could borrow the extention cord.
But that's literally what we do, beers are cracked and nascar or COPS is put on the tv.
That's just fucking weird to me. Not the beer or Tv part.
It's very bad form to not offer snacks with beer once you're outside of your early 20s.
Sven thinks the common courtesy of offering a beer and some crackers or chips to your buddy when he drops by is equivalent to being legally bound to cook him a four course meal under threat of fine ans imprisonment
>The reality is, that the unexpected guest, be it a friend, neighbour or family member likewise do not expect to be fed food when randomly dropping by
This is where the disconnect comes in and where I have to wonder if you're just pretending to be retarded, no one said or implied guests should expect to be fed and no one shows up at someone else's house unannounced and expects to be fed. It's just an unwritten social guideline that it's generally polite to offer food to guests, but as usual the self centered, egocentric european brain instantly jumps to the assumption that people are trying to take advantage of him
No you moron, it is your social guidelines. Your "ancestors" huddled together in little wagon engampments turned ring of houses, fearing everything that existed outside of it. Naturally they started fellating their neighbours as everything outside of their little encampment was scary and alien.
My ancestors were dotted around the unhospitable landscape, they had their family home and little to no contact with their "neighbours" which were considered close if you could get there in a days travel. You did not trust your neighbour unless you got to know them as you were truly on your own. That's why our social norms differ from yours.
The fact that you're still trying to conflate friends and family with potentially dangerous strangers even after being corrected multiple times tells me everything I need to know, and confirms the original point made that you got all huffy and puffy about in the first place
This guy genuinely may just be 18/19 and have no social awareness or concept of hosting. He's continually shitting up this thread with pure autism and refuses to be swayed, so I don't even think he can grasp it.
I guess historical contect is beyond your average american.
Ah you're right, no one in North America ever lived in an inhospitable or dangerous frontier where trusting other people was difficult. We all went around in cute little covered wagons and sang kumbaya
Are you being stupid on purpose?
>My ancestors were dotted around the unhospitable landscape, they had their family home and little to no contact with their "neighbours" which were considered close if you could get there in a days travel. You did not trust your neighbour unless you got to know them as you were truly on your own. That's why our social norms differ from yours.
So explain Russia
They had villages, we didn't. Russia remained feudal untill the 20th century. Here, everyone were land owning farm owners since forever.
There wasn't a single village in Sweden in its entire development? You never had any kind of regional socialization at any formative point in your culture? Stop bullshitting. In your retarded theory, Swedes would be just a likely to start "fellating" their neighbors since those neighbors are potentially dangerous and ingratiating yourself would be helpful if said neighbors decided they wanted your resources since there is no community or justice stopping them
What you have to understand is that Swedes feel genuine hatred for the living including themselves
The only thing that keeps them living and breathing is the knowledge that Swedes are the best of all the Scandinavians and Scandinavians are the only true white race, and any other near-whites are just the seed spawned after their ancestors finished pillaging and raping them
>Swedes are the best of all the Scandinavians
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
stop viking larping you pathetic autist
They all think they're the best and they all hate each other
This isn't larping, I'm explaining, Finns think they're the best, Danes think they're the best, etc.
They only tolerate each other because if they didn't have hatred they'd have, what, pickled fish and boiled potatoes?

Sauna that smells like fish farts
>Only sweden exists, I've heard about Ikea once.
goddamn burgers I swear.
When you say "burgers" do you mean southern americans, new englanders, rocky mountain region, midwesterners, southwesterners, pacific northwest, alaskans...?
Okay, so then specify your shitty little wasteland then because people are going to make assumptions to fill in the gaps you fucking retard
See
>Russia was feudal
>Here everyone was farmer
Nigga are you retarded? Do you know what feudal even means? Much of Europe had "free serfs" as feudal subjects. In France they were the majority of serfs.
All of Europe was feudal until the french revolutionary wars, industrialization and capitalism rolled around. Including your shitty fiefdom, which btw was owned for most of its history by inbred continental noble dynasties
How is it even possible to be this autistic? It's like you are completely ignoring what everyone is saying and hyper focusing on your own misinterpreted semantic argument.
By everyone you meen like 2-3 americans who somehow miss every single point I make and instead focus on how forcing food into the mouth of everyone who cross their threshold is somehow a moral virtue?
You keep not understanding that it isn't force and the guest is totally welcome to not accept the food and be not hungry. It's a sign you aren't a greedy israelite and want your guest to be taken care of.
>you're all missing the points I'm making
>americans are forcefeeding everyone that crosses their threshold
The fucking irony is palpable.
At this point I can't even put it down to ESL or autism, you are just genuinely fucking retarded.
My ancestors were antisocial, inbred, utterly retarded snownaggers who distrust everyone who isn't as inbred as they are
The funniest part is that you somehow take pride in being part of one if the world's shittiest cultures. It's as if indians were celebrating shitting on the street.
That is exactly what I would do though. Every single time a friend has popped in for something like that I offer them something substantive to eat and drink.
Not because they expect it, but because I want to do so. It's cheap, it's not time consuming, it's a great way to show my friend I care about them.
So yes, I completely fail to understand why you wouldn't do that.
In collectivist societies like Europe, it is fairly common for people to just barge into your private life. Remember that during the colonial era America, colonial dutch did not have a word for 'privacy', and were routinely offended by and grew to hate the British colonists who didn't take kindly to the Dutch colonists just showing up unannounced and wandering around on their property.
>england doesnt feed
bollocks, btw
This is strange, I am dutch and never let my guests pay for anything, not the beer, nor the food/snacks etc. I'm not poor tho, so it is not like I have to stop doing other things because my people eat at my house every 2 weeks or once a month.
Never got this meme tbh, I always got food offered af friends places, as kids and when older. t. finn
The welsh should definitely be blue and lots of different parts of England, unironically it's just bizarre to say that we have the same culture as sweden when it comes to feeding other peoples kids. I practically lived around my mates houses during the summer holidays, is this a reddit middle class liberal thing?

Literally no one is saying this. Are you actually retarded?

This is why it's funny when you hear an American say, "yeah, I'm Norwegian, my great grand ...". All of us can only think how completely out of place this American would be if they actually lived in the country they claimed as their original ethnicity.
By that logic a nafri living in Stockholm for long enough is "a true Swede". You can't have it both ways, either you believe in ethnic nationalism or civic nationalism.
>Different european ethnicities with different cultural values don't exist
Don't be retarded, Anon.
Nation comes from either blood or culture. If it comes through blood, then the American named Johansson is a swede. If it comes through culture, then Mohammad Al-Ngubu is a swede. Those are your only options.
I'd rather work with a Siggurdsson from Kansas than a Moe from Stockholm any day of the week
And I think all the Siggurdssons in Sweden feel the same, but for whatever reason, aren't saying it
Vikings sacked Jerusalem and now Palestine and Somalia are sacking Sweden
The problem is the Mohammed doesn't share Swedish culture living in Sweden
Because no one is "white". They have an actual country and culture, and trying to blend all the light skinned people together results in stupid generalizations. Like considering all Africans to be the same, despite there being discrete cultures in the various states of Africa.
dutch and especially swedish are not white
only anglo-saxon people are white
>anglo-saxon
>mutt is in the name
it's literally less than 1% of white people anon, stop hurting my feelings
Why are they like this? The ones that came to America are so welcoming
It's highly exaggerated by dumb social media
It's a miscommunication between invited guest and unwanted foreigner your kid brought home after school. In the west we tell them to fuck off home when we have dinner.
I never understood this. Its a bit of the same here in Leafland, but where I lived and how I was raised was "Let no one go hungry".
Those friends that came over got the same food I did, and sometimes were sent home with left overs.
Speak for yourself. You live in a fragmented society where nobody trusts each other. Urban?
The redpill is realising all the Europeans worth anything fled to the New World, and that the only ones left in the Old World were the bugmen bootlickers too scared of attempting to escape from under the yoke of their feudal lords
This thought has crossed my mind more than a few times
Yeah, I'm sure only the most normal of Europeans fucked over to a vast desert of nothingness so they could slaughter indians and be puritans and fuck their cousins. Totally normal behavior to create a new country because you're seen as weird and degenerate and can't stop your incestuous drive.
There just is not enough food on the kitchen table to go around anon. We cook in servings because we are efficient. t swede
I also cook in servings, but if a guest comes over and wants to eat, I will gladly share my food.
>I will gladly share my food.
What. Why though?
you don't show up uninvited for dinner that's just rude. there's only enough for everyone
just europoor things. you wouldn't get it
If someone buys you a coffee, it's usually a gesture of good will in most places around the world. Maybe next time you'll cover the coffee and so on.
But in the NL, they'll send you a "Tikkie" which is basically a way for you to pay for the coffee they bought you earlier. It's a very transactional culture, apparently.
insects
Based. That's the way it should be. The "I'll get the next one" game always ends with someone getting screwed.
Some guy said that a Swedish friend would leave him in his room while he went down to dinner with his family, and some retards are convinced that this is a normal things to do in Scandinavia, which it just isn't.
And the Dutch are cheap, which might be true, but I don't associate with the Dutch.
It was common in Norway when I grew up. Being invited to eat with their family was the exception.
It's common, when we grow up we eat with our family, unless invited to eat at someone elses place
Sure, but then you would go home and eat, not hang around while your friend is having dinner.
Destiny asked that to melina and she defended the point. Said the other kids parents might not be okay with you feeding them so might as well not feed them.
I don't know who that is, but we have phones. I just called and asked if I could stay for dinner or went home and had dinner, no one is sitting in a room waiting.

>founded cities like NYC
Ah yes the denizens of the beautiful dutch city of York came to the new world to establish New York
ikr
not that it really matters considering ny is the asshole of the usa nowadays but fuck you anyways
There was like 600 dutch in the forts and surrounding farms/areas. NYC was totally Anglo after the second conquest of Manhattan.
Not really, the Dutch influence remains today in NYC and NYS place names, plus many descendants of Dutch settlers still live upstate. President Martin Van Buren spoke Dutch as his first language
>Can't reference any dutch influences or any aspect of dutch culture integration
>already on wikipedia posting the 101 wacky facts no cares about
This is like the zoomer way of conceding an argument I guess.
>what is 'Amish'
the pennsylvania dutch are german mr facts
i'm sorry anon but that's just not true. the dutch speak a very foreign tongue that sounds like German, but very clearly is not, and it's distinctly not a dialect of German, just a completely different language. That is to say, it sounds a lot like Dutch and not German.
I can't say that whoopie pies, shoe-fly pie, chicken barbeque, and soft-serve ice cream are "Dutch" though.
>he doesn't know
Weird how those Yorkshire men named a few of the districts after Dutch places, though.

Isnt that flag on the right the ukraine flag?
What do those scandifags even consider as hospitality?
Giving vast amounts of money and free housing to rapists from Somalia and Afghanistan. Its funny that on one hand Swedes will never invite their friends for dinner but have no problem with giving their taxes to strangers from a different continent.
They assume their neighbors (white people) can take care of and feed themselves but dumb brown savages who can't even write need help.
I mainly wanted recipes but apparantly the board is more interested in European lack of hospitality

There's this, and that rotting fish in a can, and probably some Pewdiepie equivalent of Mr. Beast meals with lingonberries, and... that's it.

Those motherfuckers
Just make some gravlax. It's not that hard. Mix salt and suger, equals amount. Rub the salmon in it, wrap it up, store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Flip it a couple of times, some put a heavy weight on it, but if the of the salmon piece is not that big it might be unnecessary.
You can make hovmästarsås, but I prefer to eat it with just some sour creme,boiled potatis, dill and finely chopped red onion.
At least put some ground pepper and dill on there too.
The most basic bitch starter for a Swedish dinner: toast skagen.
It's still taste great, and is easy to make.
Mayo, creme fraiche, shrimp, red onion, roe, some lemon, dill, on a toasted slice of bread.
I can't trust any people who won't share a meal with their friends, or at least offer a snack or a beverage, without expectations of repayment. I'm israeli with a very israeli family, my parents hit all the stereotypes, and they still fed my friends when they came over, I feed my friends to this day when they come around.
acceptable israelitebro, you get deloused last

I'm not shocked that Americans have never heard of the great mosque of Djenne, but it's pretty fucking funny that they haven't heard if the pyramids
No matter how much of a hater you are, even the euro classicists were suckers fir ancient egypt
Ah yes, the Great Mosque of Djenne built by the French in 1906.
Well duh, muslims replaced everyhting good in North Africa, everything South was and probably still is just warlords in mudhuts
Everyone and their mother has heard about this overhyped mud hut, can people please stop sucking its cock
>europeans are impressed and wowed by a big sandcastle
lmao
Everyone posting in this thread is ignorant American. You have supermarket, Walmarket, everything is safe, easy for you. We have only pinecone, and butter. If visitor arrives, and he wants eat, we have go hunting for pinecone, in the forest. In the forest it is cold, and there are moose. Not nice friend moose like your American "Rock and Bullwinker", but moose is angry, moose is mean. 1000 men go out into forest for pinecone, only 860 come back to the home, on average. Of course, after we get pinecone, it is delicious, cook in some butter, you will satisfy. But risky? That is why visitor pays, because sometimes, man go out for pinecone, he not come back to house. Wife? Children? They need money to eat.
Also we have Lidl but that is for immigrant person.
Much respect for the pinecone grind. My father died fetching a gallon of milk.
Our version of beef stew is called "kalops"
It's a very simple stew, nothing special. But I like it. You eat it with pickled beets.
Nordic food has such a unique look to it, I've never quite been able to put my finger on what it is. That sort of small, peeled, boiled potato is one particular thing. Maybe it's that it's so lean despite being a cooler climate area. I guess there traditionally weren't many easy sources of dietary fats?
Those potatoes looks normal, but you are probably talking about "färskpotatis", the first potatoes of the harvest every late spring, early summer which mostly are very small. We go crazy over them every year (because they taste so great). But, it must be a thing in every country, right?
Yeah, we call those new potatoes.
Nah, I'm talking about the thing where it seems common to have a dish of boiled potatoes with a meal without any fat like butter added to them.
Ah yes, the noble potato. We Swedes call it "pinecone of the dirt" and it is prized because it can be cooked like normal pinecone, in butter, but you can be growing it close to the house, away from the forest danger. Still, for the harvest festival, we like real pinecone, but for everyday use, it is accepted. Maybe the only good thing to come from America!
The ingredients are based on hardy subarctic plants that don't really grow in continental europe. And everything is built around keeping a long time in winter
Wow, the stew actually looks edible.
Raggmunk: "potato pancakes"
2 dl flour
2 eggs
4 dl milk
Mix it all together like a normal pancake batter, then add grated potato (make sure you squeeze the water out). Eat with bacon, and of course lingonberries.
And of course the meme fish, this is how you do it without puking in your car like the rest of the stupid youtubers who try it for a "challenge"
why do you have guests anyway?
I'm about to get hired at a Swedish traditional fare lunch restaurant. As sous chef. I need tips for easy to prepare dagens husman stuff since that will be my main job.
>Stekfläsk med löksås

m8, no offense but those dishes are very easy to make (but all delicious).
You will be able to figure them out easy.
Those are just examples. But I can't serve stekfläsk three different ways every week. Looking for dishes that are similarly easy and fast to prep.

I'm sorry, I misread your post and actually thought you asked for advice how to cook those dishes. I'm a idiot, my bad. And I don't know how to work in a kitchen, so I don't know if these I listed are good or not, they are just the first one that came to my mind.
Janssons frestelse is easy to cook and delicious. If you can't get sprats, substitute herrings instead. Anchovies are wrong. I'm not Swedish but I have traveled there.

Horse meat is great my anglo friend, you should try it.
There seems to be a lot of negativity and hostility in this thread, so let's try to make the conversation more positive and constructive.
Have you all noticed that Nordic attitudes toward food & hospitality are improving as the old, legacy race is gradually being replaced by the New/Tanned Nord, especially in urban areas? It's certainly done wonders for Scandinavian fashion and music, and Sweden might actually have a shot at winning Eurovision next year.
I am 100% convinced everyone in this thread calling each other "amerigolems" "burgers" "scandicucks" and "eurotards" is in fact incredibly brown.
Isn't there a Danish thing where people put flags in their yards to invite neighbors over for food & fun? What is that called, hamletfags?
That actually sounds quite nice.
Yeah and it's the kind of thing that would be really cool to discuss in an international Culinaly thread that wasn't just trolling and flag-baiting.
>America hates everyone
>everyone hates America
Uh huh. Anyway, also cool to read about the modern Danish HYGGE philosophy of comfiness.

What the actual fuck is this? An autism alert badge?
>permanent red mode
yep that's me
Scandi countries were normal about food, then their post war boomer generation became extremely autistic and you got this disaster of a food culture.
They also have absolutely atrocious restaurants, yet many of them can't cook or turn their nose up at home-cooking.
I fear my own country is well on its way down the same path, no one fucking cooks anymore even as restaurants get more inedible by the year.

And they say israelites are cheap.
Here in Israel if anyone, a friend, random even a fucking TV technician pops in, you offer them drinks and food.
They will offer verbally 3 times, scratching the first 2 "no's" as an embarrassment.
Most of the time you can say "no" all you want, they will still keep bringing stuff to the table.
The way I've explained it to my visiting foreign friends is as follows:
They have to serve it.
The fact that you want it, or will eat it to not doesn't matter.
It's not about you.
they have to serve it for themselves (the hosts).
Something NEEDS to be on the table when guests are over.
Cold creatures you are.
leave palestine alone, filthy mud israelite.

Not sure why people get so riled up
Why does every thread on Culinaly devolve into Euro/American shitslinging?
Who the fuck cares?
Mutts because they're not White
Euros because Mutts promote White replacement
There are only 3 kinds of people that use the term mutt.
>israelites spreading anti White d&c
>Changs spreading anti White d&c
>fringe ethno-nationalists that have purity spiraled so hard they think anyone who hasn't lived in the same village for the last 50 generations is a mutt
Racial admixture is not actually that high in the US, let alone Europe.
Unless your claim is that an American or European White with a mix of French/German ancestry is a mutt (which just falls into the purity spiraling category), there is no genealogical basis for throwing around "mutt" constantly.
There isn't even a practical one as it just makes you look retarded, or like you are intentionally engaging in d&c.
There's a fourth kind, which is physically ugly and/or obese europeans who are completely unironically obsessed with America, think about America every second of every day, and have a neverending insatiable compulsion to continuously profess how much better they think they are than americans
holy cope
>an American or European White with a mix of French/German ancestry is a mutt
Yes.
An incredibly dumb argument.
European country boundaries have changed significantly over time. So how do you classify someone who's ancestors remained in the same area yet might have lived within the borders of 4 or 5 different countries at some point?
Most Europeans have mixed blood with other geographical neighbors. The level of genetic difference between most of these groups is so negligible it's not even accurately trackable.
Nearly all western Europeans share the R1b haplogroup and R1b1a2 sub-clade that is typically used as one of two different haplogroups used to describe European Caucasians. The other being the I, I1, and associated sub-clades concentrated mostly in northern Europe.
Both of these Haplogroups still have up to 30% mixture throughout the entirety of Europe, and very very few (<5%) have no mixture of these incredibly similar haplogroups and sub-clades whatsoever.
So congratulations. Your argument is 95% of Caucasian Europeans are mutts, which is either an utterly retarded and meaningless classification due to purity spiraling, or intentional d&c.
I'm guessing the second.
