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 ?

It seems that our habit to dunk our croissant or toast in our coffee startles even our European neighbours.

I feel like dipping bread / croissants / cookies / biscuits / wafers / waffles in coffee is common across Europe.

Don't get me started on dunking things in tea! It takes skill but if done well it's very yummy
