Okay but to be fair we actually have insane amounts of alcohol and alcoholism in eastern europe. I think all cultures have something unique whether that be good or bad. Sweden, where im living now, truly is very antisocial sometimes.

My culture is unique because we went from stretching accross the black sea and the baltic sea to a small eastern european country, because basically the nobility decided they wanted to be polish (and also some other factors) and before that all documents were written in Belarussian, because we got our form of written language in 1547.

My culture is super unique because it’s built on classism and religious wars.

Well, my culture is uniquer because it’s built on classism and wars against religions!

My cultures unique because the desert cooked our pale asses and we shot the religious for being too loud. The Catholics get an exception because nana is Catholic and shed kill us all.

At first I thought piñata, but that’s not usually a log, and you don’t feed it? Wtf is this?

I am from the south of northern Germany, we are close enough to the nordics that food is not that important to us save for a few exceptions.
Our grandpas are at least as bad as the grandmas in regards to pissing them off being a bad idea but that has more to do with many of them (of both genders) being assholes to younger people.
I live in one of the cities with the most crimes committed in the country but most normal people will never really notice it especially since the Hell’s Angels don’t have as much of a presence and direct influence in the city center as in the 90s and early 2000s.

My culture has this one food that takes a lifetime to learn to like, that nobody else seems to appreciate. We will aggressively push it on you every dinner, partly to watch your reaction!

I wonder what percentage of Western lemmings can actually say they have at least these “simple” things.
LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 38 minutes ago
Every culture other than maybe the British and the Dutch has good meals, some are just more hidden.
The neoliberal 80s and 90s killed families.
It’s 50/50 if your grandma is horribly racist or actually pretty cool.
Bags in a bag are boring, have you heard of a box of boxes? You never know when you need a box at some point.
Parties were synonymous with heavy drinking where I grew up. You don’t drink, you are an outsider.
Criminals are the usual, I guess. I’ve never been victim to a violent crime, no idea if it is common sense or just being lucky. Someone else recently said they get into serious fights regularly, I do wonder what they do wrong or I do right.

Cornbread and fried chicken have been around since before 1980, but the rest is pretty generic and fitting. I also have relatives who were moonshiners out in Ohio by a town which is literally called “knockemstiff” because one drink was powerful enough to “knock ya stiff” lol
Not sure the part about criminals fits though. Old men running illegal rooster fights aren’t exactly organized crime haha

I’m Dutch/British, and I can honestly say the Dutch don’t (historically) like tasty food. Maybe it’s the Calvinism, maybe were culturally broken. Maybe both.
Behold the Dutch breakfast
Now behold the Dutch lunch
No, that’s not a joke or a mistake. That’s real.
Typical Dutch food is Stamppot. Which is boiled potatoes (poorly) crushed with 1 or 2 boiled vegetables in it. There are a dozen versions of it and people will argue which beacon of sadness is better.
Another typical Dutch food: pea soup so thick you can eat it with a fork. It has peas, bacon, potato and sadness. Recently people added stuff to make it tasty, but historically it’s just peas and potato.
As a little break from food talk, here’s a famous Dutch painter making a famous Dutch painting: People eating potatoes
A typical classic Dutch desert is Hangop, which is yoghurt you hang (hence the name) in a cheesecloth to let the water soak out to make it more dense. That’s it. Plain yoghurt. Maybe add some honey for this amazing Dutch “treat”.
Now, we have amazing cheeses today, but historically Dutch cheese was pretty shit. Most of the land isn’t suited for cattle, so the milk had very little flavour. The Dutch invented adding herbs and spices into cheese. While french cheese might have a vague hint of cumin due to the ripening process in an ancient cave system, the Dutch would just chuck cumin into cheese.
We hate food, and it’s a genetic problem we still haven’t managed to break.

The only major colonial empire which did not, in any way, import food from the colonies?
I’m from Denmark, we traditionally ate porridge and potatoes and pork, and of course rye bread so dense you can club someone to death with it if you want to.
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 11 minutes ago
Oh no, we imported lots of food. And we kept it nearly separate, never to mix it with our own.
We imported Indonesian food, mixed it with Cantonese food and called it “Chinese food”, or the “Chinese Indian Speciality Restaurant” nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinees-Indisch_restaurant

The best Dutch food owes a lot to the occupation of Indonesia.

On the other hand… Bitterballen, poffertjes, awesome cheeses of all sorts, rookworst, stroopwafels, spekkoek, speculaas, advocaat…
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 20 minutes ago
We’re great at snacks, that’s absolutely true.
But we share speculaas with Belgium and Germany, and spekkoek is Indonesian. Advocaat is… Probably an acquired taste, I’ve never seen anyone under 60 drink it

Bitterballen is up there as one of the best drinking foods I’ve had.
