From Poland, it would probably be Mizeria (cucumber salad). You only need a few cucumbers, sour cream, dill, and a pinch of salt. First, you mix chopped cucumbers with salt, wait 10 minutes, and drain the water they released. Then, you add sour cream and sprinkle a bit of chopped dill. Mix well and enjoy.
Nothing nationalistic or overtly heroic. I’m looking for something that’s at least neutral or mildly insulting.
I like the ‘imagine a burger’ meme because it is weird how often United Statsians actually do this.
Why?
I'm always on r/lebanon for unknown reasons and occasionally comment
I absolutely love fennel seeds for gas and bloating. Thoroughly chewing a small spoonful and swallowing them with some water gives me relief (usually burps) within minutes.
Tailgating is an American tradition "where fans gather in stadium parking lots to eat, drink, and socialize before a sports game or concert." It is highly associated with college-level and professional American football, but also happens at other sporting events, festivals, concerts, etc.
Attendees socialize and play games like cornhole, beer pong, horseshoes, ladder golf, etc. Some people play music, set up grills to barbecue, or even hook up TVs to the back of their cars.
Alongside alcoholic and soft drinks, common foods cooked/eaten at these events include bratwurst, hamburgers, hot dogs, buffalo wings, baked beans, steak, pizza, sliders, coleslaw, potato salad, chips, etc.
Do people tailgate in your country? If so, how is it similar or different to American tailgating?
For example, when Finland wins gold in hockey, we are gonna be VERY crazy.
We say: Torilla tavataan!
What means in English: See you at the town square!
And when the team is back in Finland, we have a big party for them.
In Norway it's very common. Hospitals even give them out as a thank you to people who donate blood.
In Russia, we usually say "Allo" or "Da" ('Yes') or "Slushayu" ('I'm listening').

We have our "Cédula de Identidad". It's mandatory for all, free, and expires every so often, so you must renew it.
One must always carry it, and we use it to vote and basically for every legal and banking process and for anything that needs your identity to be validated. From entering a National Park, to acquiring a cellphone line, to enter a gated community... we use it a lot!!!
(I just realized the US doesn't have one! And got me wondering)
England has had our fair share. A selection are:
-Æthelred the Unready. His name is an Anglo-Saxon pun meaning Well-advised the badly advised, and he earned it by doing his best to lose England to the Vikings (and eventually succeeding).
-King John. Lost the Angevin Empire, caused the Magna Carta to be signed, nearly lost England to the Dauphin of France and was the inspiration for the Robin Hood legends because of how shit he was. Ruined any success he might have otherwise had either through luck or his own personality.
-Edward II. Lost to the Scots, and could not play the game of politics well, becoming overly reliant on favourites (the second in particular becoming hated) and eventually getting overthrown by his own wife and her lover.
-Henry VI. In his reign England lost the Hundred Years’ War, and then his weakness and inability to keep the nobility in line caused factionalism that spiralled into the Wars of the Roses. He was deposed by the Yorkist Edward IV, and eventually murdered in the Tower of London.
-Charles I. He played a big role in causing the English Civil War, and consequently a huge amount of pain and bloodshed, lost, was offered a pretty good deal by Parliament, refused it, and proved to be so intransigent that he caused the (temporary) downfall of the monarchy itself. Perhaps his tragedy was that he was just competent enough to make a fight of it and drag it out, but not enough to actually succeed.
-James II. He got chased out of the country in the Glorious Revolution after only four years on the throne.
In Thailand if a place uses these Zebra metal spoons you know it’s gonna be an insane meal
It’s hard to believe Americans don’t really use WhatsApp since it’s owned by Meta and has 3 billion monthly active users.
Apparently some Asian cultures view the chicken breast as the least desirable bit of the bird but it’s the most expensive in the Uk. Pigs feet would be another example of something that isnt used in the west but highly prized in many cultures.
I do because saying it in the 24-hour format sounds so weird and almost never done.
I'm a very positive person all my life and even though before the pandemic i still had problems I had a soul and upbeatness inside me that still see a future but ever since covid and pandemic came im no longer that positive person anymore its almost like thanos snapped his fingers in infinity war and we slipped into some sort of universe 10 to 20 years into the future im not even kidding when i say this i look at pictures pre covid and after covid and can't believe im the same person in that photo pre covid i think many can relate completely to this.
I don't talk about like politicians or rich people, everyone knows how they aren't in prison. I'm talking about people for whome just don't make any sense how are they free. They aren't rich, they don't have anyone who is rich, they openly admitted to their insanse behaviour, but for some unknown reason they aren't in a fucking prison.
Ivan Suhov is one of those people, this bitch is a radical mysoginist, who has a harem, IN A COUNTRY THAT HAREM ISN'T ALLOWED ! He openly addmites on pimping his daughters when they are 13 and that's the most, we don't know his bottom. His wifes live in a cramped space no allowed to go anywhere, where they are physically and sexually abused. Not only that, he abuses his kids, and his daughters even sexually. This freak, should be on a death row. But he isn't even in prison. Everyone knows about it, and no one does anything. And he isn't rich, his salary is mere 70000 roubles, and his family isn't rich themselves. This isn't Trump who obviously abuses his power of a president and a millioner, SUHOV IS JUST A GUY !!!
