I've lived in both, and you're missing how large the difference is. Not to mention you seem to be missing the point.

What the OP was saying is that americans don't eat out that much, is a very heavily home-oriented society - thats why the OP mentioned take out and delivery - not going out for lunch.

And yes people out of cities in nearly all countries have big backyards, but you are missing the people have big back yards in the US EVEN inside city limits. There are ofcourse the couple exceptions like NYC etc. but mostly even big cities have the weird suburban style houses even in the most expensive areas!



Guys, you are missing the point - these stereotypes, however true they might have been (or not), are over currently for Europe. Restaurants are empty or closed, people limit their social interaction and overall exposure to minimum. It doesn't matter much if we speak about Sweden or Italy or anything in between.

What will happen or won't in US or Europe is not anymore dependent on these behaviors.


Lol. I'm in Germany. And lol, just lol. No one here is doing jack.


I've lived in both as well and I don't agree. I concede that I misunderstood the takeout point though.

> you are missing the people have big back yards in the US EVEN inside city

hardly.
