I’m from Eastern Europe but I worked in an English grocery store for a minute and we carried ice, I couldn’t understand why people would buy a bag of ice to keep in their freezer instead of just using ice trays lol, unless everyone was throwing big parties.
For me the absolute weirdest thing was learning that a lot of British people wash their dishes by filling up their sink with soapy water, dunking their dishes in that and then just letting them dry without ever rinsing them?? Even if you scrape off any food there’s still gonna be some bits left, not to mention the dish soap? And I don’t believe they all keep their sink clean enough for that to be hygienic either. I could maybe get used to people not immediately removing their shoes at home, but the dishes will haunt me forever.
