“I remember going to my Swedish friend’s house… and while we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready,” the user wrote.
“And check this. He told me to WAIT in his room while they ate. That shit was fucking wild.”
Not here to judge but I don’t understand this. How’re you going to eat without inviting your friend? pic.twitter.com/bFEgoLiuDB

As a Swede I wouldn’t say this is really a culture thing. It has more to do with when guests come unsuspected and there isn’t enough food for everyone. We only make enough food we think we will eat. Otherwise they eat with the family. (At least in my experience)

this is very common in swedish households. one time my friends dad claimed he hadn’t cooked enough dinner for me to join them. i practically ran out of there as soon as he said that lol.

As a Swede i can confirm this, i would say the second case with no breakfast is very weird but the first one is very normal and i would find it weird to feed someone elses kid if they just over to play. Sleepover for sure they get food.

Laughing at twitter finding out that Swedish people will not feed strangers as a kid growing up here we knew to just go home around dinner time. On the flipside my mom would feed Swedish kids though.

On #swedengate, when I was about seven I had lunch at my friend's house and my grandma called her parents and tried to pay for it

Forget about Swedes not feeding their play date kids – what about adults having to bring their own sheets and towels when invited to spend the night? Lived there for 18 years, can confirm #swedengate

The highest degree of cross-cultural and religious agreement I’ve ever seen on this website is the entire world getting together to heckle Sweden for this https://t.co/9UxSIwG5aY

Good job everyone. I think we successfully bullied Sweden this weekend and their PR is in the mud. Let’s pick another European country next weekend and go again.

Sorry I can't make our meeting in the morning I found out it's weird to feed your guest dinner in Sweden so obviously I had to read 500 people discuss it until 3AM

The Nordic nation’s troubles are hitting the timeline through #Swedengate, having long avoided criticism for its contemporary racism, and historic role in slavery and empire. Note: Sweden made a fortune from manufacturing chains for slaves.
Sweden has a lot of everyday racism, a colonial past, a neo-colonial present. There's little public knowledge about the Swedish state's horrible treatment of Indigenous peoples & the continued injustices faced by the Sami people today. We should talk about this more! #Swedengate
