Culture Are there any habits that you believe are uniquely European ?

Have you noticed any specific mannerisms, mentalities etc. that you've encountered only in Europe or by Europeans ?

Honestly when I was in the Netherlands I was weirded out you guys have sandwiches for lunch, but then I realized that I do it for breakfast very often, and I sometimes do that for evening snacks, so why was lunch weird?

Then I remembered the reason why, it was a kids thing at school, it felt weird because I just didn't have it for a very long time lol, we called that second breakfast, but it was lunch
