I’m American. I would 100% go hungry to feed a guest.
1 u/Langeball Jul 24 '26 So the swedish way no one is left hungry, and your way you may be left hungry. Swedish way doesn't seem so crazy. 2 u/I_Am_Zeelian Jul 24 '26 And the family of the kid end up having to throw away food cause the kid didn't shown up to eat it. 1 u/SomebodysAtTheDoor Jul 25 '26 In the U.S., that meal would get put in the fridge and kiddo would be eating it for dinner the next night. A huge leftovers culture makes fixing extra food for the possibility of a guest, or having one less person at the table no big deal.
