YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe internet has brought about fierce debates about the Swedish cultural tradition of not serving guests food while they're in their homes. Apparently, the tradition has its roots in not wanting to rudely ruin a guest’s meal that they had planned out with their own family, or offend them by implying that they can't afford food by feeding them, even though the tradition is on its way out. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Amy Vilela discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"If you have been keeping up with Twitter, you know people are really, really mad at Sweden. A screenshot of a Reddit post that recently went viral had someone describing their experience of visiting their friend’s home in Sweden, where they were asked to wait in a room while their friend’s family finished their dinner. This screenshot eventually made its way to Twitter, where non-Swedish people – particularly Asians – lost their minds.
So, why do Swedish people not want to feed their guests? Or their kid’s friends who’ve come over to play? Apparently, in Nordic cultures, hospitality was the duty of people with higher status. “So, hospitality not only brought honour to the giver, it had the potential to bring shame to the recipient,” wrote one Twitter user. An old map made by Instagram user @LoverOfGeography surfaced which says where in Europe you’re most and least likely to be offered food if you’re a guest."
