    There’s a ton of degenerate things in Europe too. For instance, italians have a pizza with potatoes on top. Swedes like cheese inside their coffee. Swedes also like tomato sauce, cheese and i think ham paste off an aluminium toothpaste like squeeze tube. Swedes are absolute lovable degenerates.

    Germans have these devices which look like a massive cow tit to “milk” as it were, their ketchup and mayonnaise from.

      France has “ketchup and pasta.” I figured it would be some fancy, European ketchup. Nope, Heinz out of the bottle. Heretics.

      Sweden is the undisputed champion of “If you like it, you like it. If it works, it works.”

      Swedes like cheese inside their coffee.

      When I read horrifying things about other countries’ cuisines I usually just shrug and say ‘cultural differences’. Eggs boiled in piss? ‘Cultural differences’. Duck embryos on toast? ‘Cultural differences’. Cheese swarming with maggots? ‘Cultural differences’.

      But this… if a Swede popped up in front of me right now and said “yeah, I like to inject hot ham water directly into my eyeballs”, I think I’d have a better shot at understanding and accepting.

      In the Netherlands it is fairly common to spread margarine on bread (along with something like chocolate sprinkles, cold cuts or cheese). I think it tastes disgusting.

      Swedes in general do not like cheese in their coffee and would have no idea what you’re talking about. I can only assume you’re thinking of kaffeost/juustoleipä which is only found locally in certain areas of the north and Finland. It’s also delicious by the way, think salty cubes of hard cheese that you put in coffee and eat with a spoon. It makes a squeaking sound between your teeth and can also be eaten on the side as a cheesecake with cloudberry jam. (The coffee should also be pot-boiled in the traditional way.)

      Swedes used to drink coffee in small cups with 1-2 lumps of sugar and cream in it. That was the standard way for adults to drink coffee 40 years ago here before globalization really kicked in - now a standard café in Sweden is exactly like anywhere else in the world.

        I do not quite remember local word for it, but yes, i saw it while travelling through Kiruna, so it was in the north.

        I had it. My southern European self considered becoming anti Schengen because of it. I love your country, but you people should be banned from having coffee.

        Also yeah, the whole world is very similar in many aspects, but the comment was about funny degenerate things I’ve seen across Europe and that is pretty degenerate. Just poking a little fun, is all.

      I can get ketchup from a massive cow tit!? holy shit based.

      omg I found them these are actually brilliant, unlike the pump bottles you’ll never get the random money shot of condiment that misses your hotdog completely and gets on your shirt.
