Its quite interesting that back in the viking age generosity and hospitality was regarded as one of man's greatest virtues.There's even an episode in the poem Grímnismál where Odin disguises himself as a destitute traveler to test the hospitality of a certain character (he ended up failing in showing any hospitality and was killed because of that).The utmost importance of sharing food wich is even engraved in some rune stones.Meanwhile, nowadays if you are invited into a scandinavian household the hosts will leave you to starve.What a brutal 180°Is this the price of "progress"?
>>204021787Yeah. Glad the wikings spread their genorosity to England and Ireland.
>>204021787lol at the mean spirited inhospitable scandinavians
>>204022108yeah they generously looted and burned our shit
>>204021787Don't like it, don't come here. It's a complete meme anyway and bullshit but you retarded zoomers will never accept it so fuck it. Stay the fuck away from the Nordics. Remember, we're hellholes where you will get stabbed, raped, bombed and shot within 5 minutes while the arab tower screams prayers on the corner! Be warned!!! ALLAHU AKBAR!!
>>204021787Why would you get food unless it's breakfast, lunch or dinner?? Makes no sense. You get picrel. Coffee and cinnamonbun. Always. 100% chance because Fika is Sweden.
>>204022195That is my breakfast kek
>>204022195>You get coffee and cinnamonbundoubt
>>204022216Doubt what?Fika is like the most important part of Swedish daily life. Not offering someone fika when they visit is like punching them in the nuts.
>>204022216Anyone who doesn't have fika ready for anyone who might visit is not Swedish, they aren't even remotely related to anything nordic.
>>204022228>>204022255swedish tourist board in full damage control
>>204022216>doubtRetard. My mom would beat the shit out of me if she found out I didn't offer visitors coffee and a pastry. That shit is holy for Swedes.
>>204022265When will you stupid kids (inb4 noo old lol) stop trusting bullshit maps and fake internet memes? Never I guess, it's sad how easily manipulated you kids are.
>>204022216There's a reason we're among the top in picrel. Coffee is our guest offering.
>>204021787Bullshit meme map once again. It's customary here to offer food for quests
>>204022565Don't bother, they are too brainwashed to accept that.
>>204021787https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jantescandis are weirdos
>>204022141was future karma for your genocidal crimes of the future (WW2)
>>204022565>>204022680t. somali
>>204021787Meme map based on a reddit post.
we do make food for the guests if we know they will be eating here instead of at home tho
>>204021787First of all this map is a meme. It has no basis in truth at all. You are just using it to spread hate against us. In the old days people didn't have cars and there were no grocery stores or restaurants anywhere. The only place you could possibly eat was at home or in the wild if you had supplies or managed to catch/gather something. Traveling from one place to another took days, which is why it was customary to give even strangers a place to sleep and some food and drink if you could spare it.Today it takes minutes or hours at most to get somewhere you can get food so there's no need for the kind of hospitality that in the old world was a must. Literally nobody is going to starve, as you say, because they weren't force fed a full meal when they popped in for a few minutes to chat.There are entire cultural and linguistic differences that you simply refuse to understand and insist on looking at other cultures from your own narrow cultural viewpoint and judging them based on the extremely limited information you have because you want to feel superior. You know you are wrong but you won't admit it. You are just a pathetic little shit.
>>204022565>>204022680Idk why you guys deny that we don't offer strangers to partake in dinner, being a kid, the best part of visiting a friend was when he went to go and eat, because then you could have the PC/gaming console all for yourself
Obv because of protestantism.
>>204025951The other big difference regarding ancient hospitality is news and entertainment. Right now you can log onto the internet and get reports of foreign lands and read all sorts of things for fun. Back in the day, before the printing press, the only way to know what was going on elsewhere was because a traveler came to your village. So ancient peoples (not just scandinavians, either) fed them, and were paid for their efforts in stories.
>>204021787If they give me food, that's how I know they're trying to poison me.
>>204022320And you dont offer me a cig with the coffee? What a fucking bum
>>204021787>Its quite interesting that back in the viking age generosity and hospitality was regarded as one of man's greatest virtues.No, they weren't. Where are you getting this shit from?
Can't go one day without /int/ seething about us.
>source: a fucking meme
>>204027890lollmao evenYou get such threads very rarely and already whining.
>>204028731Not true. There's atleast 1 thread every single day about my cunt and it's always some retard taking a meme literally or someone just seething.
>>204028731Yeah but we dont have a rus janny to purge every anti sweden thread when it pops up
>>204028809You live in the past century. There is no more rus janny. Threads from /k/ guys can be on the board with their spamming for the whole day.
>>204026037this but also valuing family time and meal planning is somehow a bad thing to foreignersmost people would offer you some sort of snack but expecting a meal as a guest is weird
>>204022565imagine paying your adventurers in food instead of gold.
why would I give you food, eat at home like wtffff
>>204023888not a real thing stop reading shit some danish dude wrote in 18th century
>>204029680a spaniard in one of these threads was so disgusted at people not getting handouts and disrupting dinner plans that he said he would forbid his children from visiting such a household i believe he also called such a scenario "traumatic"
>>204021787blue=will literally demand handouts as a guest, red=will put certain demands on their guestsblue=niggers, red=white and civilizedblue=guest is the main character, red=host is the main charactera blue guest in a red house will become a conflict, and the blue will loose.
>>204030063You are seriously deranged
>>204022195seems generous enough
>>204026037>we don't offer strangers to partake in dinnerWe don't do that, but we have dinner late so logically I went back home before dinner time.
this map is dumb, everyone who's my guest gets offered some food. Entire family acts the same as well. t. north German
>>204021787No. It's Modernity and a change of behavior of men
>>204025951
>>204022195THIS.
>>204021787Based, 99.9% of people can't cook and as an autistic man I won't praise the dogshit they fed me for brownie points.If you want to eat, you can meet in a restaurant.
>>204021787If I have a party it's always pizza or kebab at the local joint followed by drinks and snacks at home. Stop believing reddit memes you tard.
>>204030238everything i said is real and the reason this thread is a returning topic.
>>204021787I thought Bavarians were super big on you trying food when you visit?
>>204022195I could live with coffee and cinebun, but normally people who don’t share food are cheap people. I remember hanging out at friends houses and the ones who didn’t share food always had a sort of negative energy around it, too , like a grumpy bear hoarding food .Finally as a side note: why don’t scandies adopt the good parts of pan-western civilization like hospitality instead of the bad parts like migration of browns and anti-male feminism.
>>204031784in restaurants yea
>>204031816i've said this probably dozens of times at this point, but scandinavians plan meals more than other westerners and make enough to feed the (expected) number of people at the table.as long as you clear it with the host, it's not a problem 99 times out of 100.when you're a kid you're expected to eat at home by default and dinner is family time. it's not just a meal, it's one of two times (the other being breakfast) in the day where families are generally all gathered in one place and talk as a group meals aside, snacks or fika are generally offered if there is anything to offer.
>>204031816What >>204032501 said. We don't make huge amounts of food and we don't get leftovers. Everyone KNOWS this here because everyone is the same way so nobody expects food while visiting (except coffee and a bun) unless it's a party or something. If you want food, you say in advance. That's it. Otherwise there will not be enough food for everyone.
>I know more about your own country than you because of easily debunked social media bullshit that I love to regurgitate mindlesslyWhen will this trend for easily manipulated retards end?
>>204032839It will never end anon, it's just gonna get worse as zoomers grow more and more retarded.
Lmao at all the Swedes trying to claim this isn't true. No, we don't offer you food if you got here without an invitation. It's perfect. It puts no pressure on the host and doesn't start any wierd cycles of debt or makes offering dinner into some sort of status show off.
I actually really like to cook, I made a roast pork loin the other day but only 2 friends a nuggies autist and a Muslim so neither one wanted to try it. It was so good too :(
>>204033331I would've had it anon....
>>204033415Based greatest ally, thank you . One of these days I'm gonna tackle a little bit of French cuisine. The good cheese shop near me sells mimolette and it's the best cheese I've ever had
>>204021787The most cringy thing is that Nordic parents are annoyed their kids are fed at friends house because the mean they prepared is going to waste.You could eat your food later and kids are happy to share table with their friends.Absolute cringe
>>204033241i don't think a single person has claimed that the problem is non-swedes categorize bullar as "food". you probably thought it pertains to actual meals but apparently it doesn'tif you have bullar in your freezer and don't offer a guest one during a longer visit, you're a kukhuvud
>>204021787We'd offer a snack, not a meal.To go with the coffee which has to be offered under pain of death.
>>204033241>It puts no pressure on the hostThis is something I'm still unsure about with this whole thing. Do people serve food just because they genuinely want to, or because they're afraid that the guest will think they're rude if they don't?
>>204033578it's not about the foodyou're expected to eat at home as a kid unless you say otherwise so being a no-show and not saying anything is equivalent to being invited to someone for dinner and then ghosting them when the food is ready
>>204021787Doesn't matter either way. People need to eat less. Fat fucks.
>>204033766southern europeans will think you're the devil incarnate if you don't offer them a full meal the moment you enter their home
>>204033932they enter your home*
>>204029180>expecting a meal as a guest is weird
