I saw a video yesterday that in Japan, your hosts will offer to serve green tea on rice. Apparently this is a hint for the guests to leave.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 34 points 1 year ago

In Poland you just tell them there's no more vodka.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Which of course is never true in Poland 😁

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

In Denmark, the host will sometimes serve soup or another light dish to signal that it's time for them to leave. It's actually informally known as "go away-food"

I wish I had the confidence and rudimentary cooking abilities to serve guests go away-food 😆

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 27 points 1 year ago

People who can't cook: "I guess a have a new roommate now"

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

Leading to a training montage. Years later, your roommate tries your three thousandth attempt at fuck-off soup, smiles at you, stands up and says "whelp..."

In the Netherlands we have "fuck off coffee", to be served after dinner.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Nah, that's different. Fuckoffee is coffee you drink to build up or maintain energy for prolonged sessions of fucking.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago

you sure it's not called "annoying cancer-cunt-twat tuberculosis coffee"?

[-] door_in_the_face@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

I think the literal translation of the name is "rot away coffee" so it might have something to do with tuberculosis or leprosy? The rest is reserved for special occasions, unless you're from Rotterdam of course.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lots of annoying cunts in Rotterdam?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nah, that's what you serve if a far right politician visits.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 year ago

It isn't that difficult.

Go away food doesn't need to taste good. In fact, it helps them go away much faster.

[-] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Are you expected to eat fuck off soup, or should you fuck off right away?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's up to you, really. You can fuck off right away, eat the soup and then fuck off or you can have fucked off before the soup was served 🤷

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I need that on a doormat 😆

[-] aubble@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

What?! This simply is not true.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It very much is. Maybe it's not a custom in your part of the country but here in Østjylland and in Himmerland, it definitely is.

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

So ist the logic behind this to say "looks we were planning on having dinner about now" implying that the guest is intruding but in order to show hospitality, you'd have to invite them to the meal, so you server some plain-ass soup that won't cost you squat if the guest should accept your offer but is bland enough so that the guest will likely pass anyway?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I think it's more like "we'll give you a bit of food for the journey. Nothing too heavy so you'll want to sit down for a long time, but decent food nonetheless. Now kindly scram"

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 17 points 1 year ago

Are you supposed to refuse the rice, or leave after eating the rice?

[-] Arfman@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Refuse and it's the cue to leave

[-] gusVLZ@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

I'm Brazilian and over here we can both, place a broom behind the front door or start doing the dishes

[-] LemmyInRedditSux@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

How does the act of placing a broom behind the front door signify the guest should leave? The broom is blocking the exit. 🤔

[-] gusVLZ@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

The door is open and the broom is visible between the wall and the door

[-] EllyEinhorn@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Carrie Fisher would have her copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special if she wanted everyone to leave.
