Serve? Or make? A lot of frozen pizzas are made in Baldoyle industrial estate and distributed to acquired needs
Ireland – usually??
We’re always horsing the Mariettas and taaay into people.
Now if it was tea…
We had one of those houses where the whole county used to visit,it was called gáineallI don’t know the English word for it, visiting I think it means,anyway our house would be full of people at least twice a week,no alcohol just a get together, Sean nós songs(old Irish songs no instruments)etc,but the central part was the tea and sandwiches and it had to be the best you had,no cheaping out on your neighbours
(Brits at it again)
Unlikely to give you food…
I’m always buying biscuits for guests, then the guests keep declining them so I have to eat them all
There should be a different colour for Cavan.
Crazy that line in Italy
I always offer what I made for dinner and get stroppy when they actually say yes lmao
If you don’t offer at least tea or biscuits in Ireland then it’s considered pretty rude imo, especially towards tradesmen.
I’m surprised at the czech/slovak split. In Slovakia, offers of food are very much ala Mrs Doyle. The split would make more sense if light blue was food and dark blue was spirits.
Ah sure everyone will have a cup when visiting the gaff, sure go on, go on, go on, go on….
Hmm I think we’re stretching what “food” is. In ireland you’ll get a tea/coffee and perhaps some biscuits but also maybe not, if theyre a relative then maybe a pretty plain sandwhich and some crisps. Other countries sit you down and force you to eat a full dinner and drink some wine/beer
Dutch are mad cunts. They act like they didn’t even want you to visit when you come over.
Belgians are the opposite in my experience. Great bunch of lads for a snack platter.

I’m from Germany originally, from right around the division line. In my house, we always offered food/snacks/drinks to guests.
I’ve lived in Ireland now for 12+ years and I recently learned it’s a thing in some places in Germany to not offer a child that’s over for a play date food. Like it’s literally a thing to call your own kid for dinner and have the other kid wait in the room until you are done. Couldn’t believe it 🤯
I’d be mortified.
Stingy nordics
The Dutch will bill you for snacks in their house
Yeap, checks out.
I take my own food, milk for tea, teabags, yet draw the line at crockery and cutlery when I visit my sister in Wales.
I’ve never, ever had breakfast at hers. In fact I’ve cooked for all of them 9 times out of the last 10 nights I’ve stayed there. All on my tab. Two of those were over Christmas and yes, I took food, and cooked 90% of the dinner that day. That one day I didn’t cook I paid for a £220+ Chinese meal out.
Not sure why I put up with it. It’s more expensive than just staying home.
No even visits anyone’s else house. Everyone just meets at the pub. Your Ma house doesn’t count.
I cannot comprehend not giving tea and biscuits to someone visiting my house. And I never go to someone’s house empty handed.
I’m American and just spent the weekend in Dublin. We had the best time everyone was so nice. The atmosphere and vibe was great. Ended our trip hiking around Howth. Stayed Clontarf castle. Can’t wait
to come back to Ireland
This is outrageous. They’d have us pinned as philistines.
Damn, Scandanavia
The Danes: never not at it
Bread into me but I have evolved into borderline waterboarding people with my offers of a cold bottle of water.tesco obviously
In Spain, where I’m originally from, I can say that you’ll always leave a house you’ve been invited to with a beer and some snacks, at the very least! But I think the Irish are extremely similar to the Spanish in that regard. Based on my experience, they should be in dark blue—they are just as hospitable as the Spanish aswell 🤗
Always Dr Oetker Pizzinis. If the visitor is Irish, they had them as a child so they always go down well.
All the teenagers in the neighborhood know my house is dark blue.
Likely to take your food?
England
Sounds like whoever made the map has personal experience of all these areas
We should be dark blue. A nation of Mrs Doyles.
That’s not accurate for Ireland tbh. Mostly you’ll get a cup of tea and a biscuits
Is this not a very confusing map? The title is “Will you receive food as a guest?” but the legend is about being offered food. Entirely different thing.
