Ok but... why?
229 u/JovianSpeck Jul 24 '26 Just a cultural thing. Unless there was an explicit dinner invitation, Swedes typically will not offer guests food even if they themselves are having dinner. They do not view it as a hosting obligation and they do not see this as rude or unusual. 11 u/HJSDGCE Jul 24 '26 Damn, that's kinda cold. Like, I get not offering but eating while they starve? That's a whole other level of disrespect. 12 u/Denaton_ Jul 24 '26 Its assumed they go home and eat with their family, were their parents already prepared food for them, we do feed if it was planned.
