Ask Europeans questions about their countries!

This was one of my favorite subreddits back on Reddit so I'd like to recreate it on Lemmy. If any Mod from Reddit would like to take over this community, I gladly hand it over to them.

Rules:

When responding, mention which country are you from since we don't have flairs on Lemmy yet
Be nice and polite
No other rules so far, this is a small community so we don't need to make it a police state, we'll see what future brings

For me it was bryndza (sheep cheese). My whole childhood I heard about how unique it's for Slovakia. Turned out they have bryndza in Romania, Poland, Ukraine, ... all over carpathian region

Having a populace so fickle, distracted, and lacking of critical thinking skills that they elect deranged con men to positions of great power.

The number of burger restaurants in Scandinavia surprised me. Not that I thought burgers were only a US thing, but the number and variety was surprising.
