Europeans are using fork and knive, Americans are cuting the food at first, then they put the knive besides and the arm on the leg (under the table) and continue only with the fork. For a plenty of Europeans with old-style education this is not good behaviour (like eating with laying the ellbows on the table).
I'm confused on why this would be considered bad?
(except in American-style-diner's).
Are there really such places? Why would anyone go out of their way to imitate the eating of the perceived "fat American slobs"?
And it's getting popular in the UK to fry Mars- or Snickers-bars in oil!
mmmmm...
I love the British now! A propos French fries (which are at least coming from Belgium, not from France), a clear word to the Americans: yes, in Middle Europe it's very popular to put Mayonnaise ver them!
That sounds quite good actually. I like to put barbeque sauce on them myself.
it's a definetely "No-No!" to put icecubes in it!
Among wine drinkers, that is true here also
Yes, you can find peanut-butter, but except in Holland, it's not very popular. Marshmallows are harder to get.
Peanut butter and marshmallows are considered American?
In the USA the rules about alcohol are very strict.... Foreign guests of me were always totally shocked, that in Germany you can buy any kind of alcohol at the big 24-hours-gas-stations.
Actually they're not. At almost every convienence store or gas station you can get some kind of liquor. Of course you have to be 21 or older. I get the impression that the age for liquor drinking in EU countries, such as Italy, is something like 8 years old, which seems quite irresponsible in my opinion.
