Rage baiting the scandis
I feel like I'm going crazy because there's a strange landmass in the Cantabrian Sea that no-one seems to be mentioning

Accidental Trans Flag spotted on TERF Island
I like to imagine someone intentionally designed the color coding around the UK results just to troll the transphobes.
I've talked to Scandinavian who said that post was BS. Yes Scandinavians are more standoffish and private but if you're over at their place they offer you food, and alcohol. Actually they're kinda aggressive about the later one.
Norwegian here, the person you talked to was right.
Yeah!
Anyway, want a beer?
the other word for guest is not-yet-sold-as-a-slave in swedish. true story.
The Netherlands:
Very unlikely to give you food, very likely to send you a request for reimbursement if you are
Receiving a €0,65 tikke for the coffee in my friend’s flat.
"I had a black coffee. To account for not adding milk, please adjust the tikkie to €0,60. Thanks"
When you're a kid who goes over to a classmate's house after school, and a few hours later their Dutch crackkker parents are like: "Sorry, but you have to go home now. We're about to eat stamppot." 
Interesting if you overlay the "wash hands after using the bathroom" infographic...
Netherlands in shambles
Turkey is the only safe bet, anywhere else it's either starvation or an E. coli infection
A weather related cultural phenomenon perhaps? The hottest countries seem to be the most likely to share food?
I blame the protestants.
Checks out: 
Martin Luther strikes again
"Feeding guests is for losers, actually"
the parents named him after lutherfisk, another true story that euros won't tell you. that's why he was so obsessed with poop texture.
Always a safe bet
As far as the west goes: once again the celts seem to be alright.
Want to say Italy too, but judging by Mussolini…yeah no wonder the Bible roasted us so hard lmao.
Tbh the italians did ended up killing mussolini themselfs. The problem is that they didn't killed the rest of the fascists.
They only did that because he tried to ban pasta
They didn't even finish off the fascist mussolinis, truly a half-assed job
Have you even seen lutefisk? Offering that to guests would probably scare them away. This is also why the English usually don't offer food either. Imagine going into someone's house and being offered "spotted dick" or some such ridiculous nonsense.

Rumor has it that Gordon Ramsay is so angry because he hasn't recovered from the childhood trauma of being raised eating English food.
Imagine being offered a baby's head from someone from great Yarmouth
Any time I've been in any of the red zones I've been offered food as a guest. At least one country in the red zone has a custom of paying for your coffee/lunch if they invite you out.
That said I can't vouch for the Dutch and most of the time I expect then to act more like doppelgangers than real human creatures.
Do the Dutch even have food? Can't think of a single Dutch food item.
Stroopwafels and Gouda cheese
And uhhh, vague almond flavoured stuff?
And frite sauce too. I refuse to eat fries with ketchup now that I know how superior frite sauce is.
There's also their colonialist appropriations like rijsttafel, which is basically Indonesian food served in smaller tapas-like portions.
Iceland sneaking up on France
I like how the "SWIPE FOR MORE INFO" is perfectly inside Ukraine.
is this only meals or does it include snacks and drinks?
I think this mostly include meals, I heard that is quite common for people in England to share tea with a visitor or a friend.
Oh yeah "Let me put some tea on for you" is stereotypical
Tea the drink or tea the meal????????
Cup or tea
It's a number 9 burger King foot lettuce with fries
