If you don’t share food with people in Mexico you’d be considered the pettiest asshole in the world. Cancellable offense no joke

True
In the Netherlands, when you’re at someone’s house and they tell you it’s time for dinner it usually means it’s time for you to leave, unless they explicitly invite you to join.
For real, “we gaan zo eten!” is honestly synonymous with “we want you to leave”, unless you’re very close friends.
I keep certain kinds of food and drinks around for the sole purpose I might sometime need to offer food to a friend that I might one day have. One day.
Sickos when they see their guests eat food they bought to share: Yes… Ha Ha… YES
Spirit of capitalism indeed.
I’m not able to shake off not feeding guests as “just a cultural thing.” It feels pretty abhorrent.

What do you mean by class dynamics? Like the hosts being too poor to feed the guests?

That’s even weirder
Rich people are stingy assholes confirmed

In Brazil poor people are more willing in offer food than rich people.
I don’t know, being from southern Romania, pretty much everyone offers you something to eat. Even if you’re only around for a couple of minutes
Its weird, I’m almost convinced that sweden story is made up. I just can’t picture a grandma from anywhere not wanting to feed everyone that comes near.

Scandinavians can’t keep getting away with this. Not even coffee or tea?
Even Americans are better than this. I remember once having a twizzler as my friend was literally walking out the door and my nana being upset I didn’t offer her one too.
In my experience the older generations are good at that. They usually offer something to drink at the very least. Younger people though… not really.
It’s because of that damn phone
lmao I didn’t mean to sound like a bitter old lady. I’m not complaining, just making an observation.
Well, I am

This is scandalous
I had an Italian professor, she offered me tea and biscuits during the exam in her office. We really need more people like her
Huh. My family must be an outpost of the Mediterranean
Sus iceland
Huh?
The twitter / reddit meme of the day yesterday was a post about how someone went to their swedish friends house, the friend and his family ate breakfast and didn’t even invite the OP. Apparently not feeding house guests is standard in some places.
I don’t know why I find a lack of such hospitality revolting, but I do. 🤢
“Just stand there and watch, you scum”
i mean if they want some spam heated up in an old Panasonic oven that eats up way too much power with some cold Heinz beans with me they can be my guest
I’ll defrost some sauce and put pasta in the pot. If you can stand the ubiquitous dog and cat hair, that is.
