British. We are very serious about queuing and audibly gasp if someone jumps the queue. I'm not joking.

Just got off the plane in New York. They are not good at queueing here lol. Wait to let people off the train!

Kiss people on both cheeks as a greeting! Though even as an Italian I will say I never really liked it lol

As an English I am horrified at the idea

Understandable! I lived in the UK for a few years and will say I really appreciated how mindful everyone was of personal space there!

As an Asian that makes me squeamish lol

Some people do that here too, and I refuse to uphold that traditional way of doing things. Especially since it's gendered

My Dutch family does this but it's more air kisses than a peck on the cheeks.

We distribute milk in plastic bags.

Whhaaa...? How does that work?

They take a cow, put it in a plastic bag, mush it around a bit, and then pull out the cow. Instant bagged milk.

They put apple sauce in their pasta.

This... And not all Switzerland agrees.

The German speaking part add the apple sauce. The French speaking part wonder who hurt them in their youth. The Italian speaking part hesitate between throwing holy water and burn the whole house down.
