The main reason I like getting invited is getting food!
IF this rule exits it's especially meant to get rid of parasites like you, who value neither the hosts nor the occasion but mainly come to stuff their face
it's just good etiquette to share food. the swedes are very selfish and homogeneous, therefore feel they're entitled in their tiny little country
Swedish food leaves much to be desired.
No one is missing anything.
Both yes and no, it's actually out of respect. Im a swede (59 years old) and when I was a kid I got asked if it was ok to eat dinner with the family or if my mom wanted me home for dinner later. For my self I allways invite my guest to eat but most often they decline out of respect
.
It was a very flawed bit of research, about arriving uninvited/unexpected at dinner time and getting fed.
The swedes and most nordics answered, "you don't do that, that's extremely rude/impolite" and as such were defaulted into the NO category, making them look bad. When the truth is not that simple
Well, it's more like the parents announce to friends or guests; "Well, it's almost dinner time!" With a pause and a look which actually is code for: " Time to f@#k off" Lots of people not from the country are amazed when they find out.
It's the same in Germany when kids are over. Except for sleepovers, of course.
Inconceivable dumb@$$.
j/k
when I was a kid I never ate at my friends' house,
but once I got an ice cream
