The map above shows how likely you are to be offered food as a guest in someone’s house, outside of being invited for a meal.
In Southern Europe and the Balkans you’re almost certain to be offered (or even forced) to have some food.
However, as you travel further north it becomes less and less likely (at least until you end up in Scotland).
And, if you’re in North Germany or the Nordics, don’t expect anything.
That said there is way more variation than this map would suggest.
Do you offer your guests food when they visit outside of meal time? Leave your comment below including where you’re from:
