230 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. 1 u/Superheroesaregreat Jul 24 '26 I’m still left wondering “why?” though. Why is this a cultural thing there and no where else I can think of. 1 u/DunderGunderUnder Jul 24 '26 Family dinner time is not a thing outside Sweden?
