Look at the plate orientation.

@Apotato Dammit humon...

@Apotato As we say in this country - "meat and two veg".

@Apotato You're implying what exactly...?

@Apotato I'm starting to wonder what part of the cow they're eating ...

I was expecting everyone to go Viking-mode on England. XD

@dabyzantineball they didn't eat enough salad for that XD

I get the feeling they sounded like this in the last panel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHc288IPFzk

@TheLynx012 I totally agree with that.

@TheLynx012 hell yes

:looks at Denmark's and Norway's eyes: :O "the true derp lords!"

@potatoe4life then denmark, norway and sweden run away from england

My mom and dad would definitely react like that, i would probably just go " Finally! I can enjoy a decent meal with out all the rabbit food! :,D "

It's a shame because I love salad. In England you sometimes get a little salad garnish on the side, but most people don't eat it and it goes to waste. I suppose, therefore, that it's better if it is an optional extra so that salad isn't needlessly thrown away. Unfortunately, we're very much a salad-discarding nation, so I'm in a minority as somebody who enjoys, and has always eaten, salad.

This is true, my mom asked the same question when we moved to the United States.

I really like their reaction in the last panel, and especially Norway, just throwing the plate of food.

@Ziebenhaub_the_Texan Ikr!

Hey, I can top that for culture shock.

Over here, it's quite normal to start a meal at a restaurant with a complimentary selection of spreads and salads (salads as in coleslaw or matbucha or that sort of thing, not the leafy variety) as well as hot bread and some oil with balsamic vinegar or grated tomatoes for dipping. Heck, some places will also offer brined olives and a dish of garlic confit.

And like I said, these come complimentary. They're for whetting your appetite while you're waiting for the starters. You could waive them and you wouldn't be paying any less for the meal, or you could eat them and you wouldn't be paying a dime more than you would otherwise have paid if you didn't eat them.

So imagine our shock when we got the bill at a restaurant in Rome and found that we were being charged for the bread and cheeses that showed up on our table while we were waiting for the starters to arrive.
