    World unites over Twitter debate that Swedes don’t let you eat if you are at their house

    A Twitter thread went viral recently in which people shared their experiences of visiting Swedish homes and not being served food.

    A question was posted on Reddit: “What is the weirdest thing you had to do at someone else’s house because of their culture/religion?”

    One of the users replied, “I remember going to my Swedish friend’s house. And while we we were playing in his room, his mom yelled that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to wait in his room while they ate.”

    “I slept over a friends house. When we woke up, he said he was going downstairs for a few minutes. After about 15 minutes I go on the stairs to see wtf is happening and they are eating breakfast. They see me and tell me he has almost done and will be up there soon. I still think about it 25 years later,” another user replied.

    People on social media are finding this tradition a little “weird”. Have a look at some of the reactions:

    England’s Alex Hales impressed with Pakistani food and hospitality

    Alex Hales has appreciated Pakistan’s hospitality and food, referring to it as “excellent”.

    Responding to a tweet by senior sports journalist Saj Sadiq, who said that the English star may not have been happy with the quality of food served to him at breakfast, Hales said: “It was one meal where the order was incorrect…I found it funny, nothing more.”

    “The food and hospitality here has been excellent, hope this clears it up,” he added.

    Controversy erupted after Hales, who was playing for Islamabad United in the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), posted a picture of his breakfast, writing: “Toast, omelette and baked beans.”

    In the photo, two boiled eggs could be seen with a slice of toast and an unopened packet. Fans and social media users thought the cricketer was indirectly trolling the PCB. They also expressed their reservations over the condition of the egg and took shots at PCB for the poor quality of the food.

    However, the right-handed batsman was quick to make things clear, clarifying that there was no issue with the quality and that he posted the photo only because he found it funny.

    Meanwhile, PSL6 has been postponed indefinitely after seven positive cases of COVID-19 were detected in the bio-secure bubble.
