Opposite way? You are not getting money if you come to my house.
Economically speaking, my apologies
Come into any house in England you will be offered a cuppa, maybe some biscuits or cake. But then, none of you like our food anyway.
Coffee is the default offer for guests here in northern germany. It also has nothing to do with being stingy (except for the Netherlands) when you ask for food you‘ll get it
Idk I think it’s pretty common in Northern Italy as well. And I thank the influx of terroni for it 🙏
So I go yo Swedistan and if in need of money just wait to be invited at someone house?
TBH the nordicks are doing you lot a favor. What will they serve you? älgbullar with lingonberry jam?
North of Spain: I literally just killed a cow and have 400kg of meat, eat them all or you can’t leave my house. Let me know what you want as a dessert.
Iceland decided to migrate apparently.
It also reads like “Places that have good food to offer vs places that don’t”
This is the best proof of PIGS superiority.
Unlikely? I am in Baden-Württemberg. Trust me when you are here it is unlikely you will leave with your BMI intact.
Protestantism strikes again
It sort of makes sense. If I go to Luigi’s or João’s home the food they offer you is going to make you feel appreciated. The food you get at Barry’s home is going to feel like an insult.
Everyone is just being polite.
I support the blatant lying, Belgium should be red (for both halves)
We not only give you food when you come to our house, we also throw on the BBQ and you have to sit through 2-3kg of grilled meats. If you say you’re not hungry, or refuse, then angry Cypriot grannies will suddenly appear and threaten to beat you to death with even more food.
There’s a reason we don’t have money
Can’t relate, always got food in other peoples houses .
OP just called us, south Europe, poor in the most sweet way I have ever read.
France should be blue. I’ve never seen anyone invite you in and not offer you food
From my experience with the family of Spanish friends, not only their Abuela will feed you: you have to eat until you nearly pass out or otherwise you offend 4 generations of their family. And after eating 3 months worth of food, their Grandma will come, look you dead centre on the eye, and drop: “But you barely touched your food”
If you visit a friend in the Nordicks for a few days, bring food. Otherwise you won’t survive.
What are you talking about? If you visit a German during mealtime there will absolutely be food.
You might not get food if you show up uninvited. But that’s because in that case we don’t want you there.
The divide on northern Spain seams completely arbitrary, it doesn’t follow any political border or any logical border that I can think of, chunks of provinces are excluded for apparently no reason at all apart from making the border look natural.
Nah if you come to my house with good intent you shall have all the Kässpätzle in the world
Why would northerners offer food? To offend the guest with the “quality” ?
i literally was never in a home in austria and didnt get anything offerd, mostly i humbly decline because i only eat schnitzel but still they offerd
We will give you beer so.. dont cry
in england you’ll get offered a cup of tea, which id prefer to having to eat infront of someone lol
When I was a kid I had to live only with my father for 1 month. I had to visit friends every day just to get food because my father did the same with his friends and there was nothing to eat at home.
Wtf is this map? Never met a german who refused to eat lunch with a guest at home.

I call bullshit for Germany. Never experienced, never heard of, at least in the catholic parts, maybe for those unholy stingy protestants.
Don’t fall for it, in the south we actually force the guests to eat until they can barely move.
This post again?
Like I’m going to give food to some random savage I don’t even know. Only friends and those who are invited are guests.
Also just blatantly untrue. I think I’ve rarely not been offered food at someones house, probably never when it was appropriate to do so.
Not this again…
In Belgium you will deffinatly get offered beers and snacks!
This map is alien lie!
We grab every opportunity to turn it into a drink and food fest!
Hmm, was this map created by a shadey Scotsman?
A place where “so, you’ll have had yer tea then” is a standard guest greeting and where the pantry is the local chippy is not likely to offer a traveller nourishment.
I pretty much always get offered food and/or a drink when I visit other people, even more so when I visit people from the south
Tomorrow it’s my turn to post this.
We are sure you had a proper meal before and will have a proper meal later. Offering food is just insulting. Do you think I’m poor?!
koffie met een koekske
There should be a fifth shade for Southern Italy:
* refuse food at your own peril
If its descided we’ll meet over food like fika or dinner then sure food will be involved.
