When you compensate for the timezone, Dublin and Madrid are only 30 min apart. Itś not that Spanish people eat late, but Spain is classified in the wrong time zone
For which we have Franco’s bromance with Hitler to thank
I think it’s an interesting thought, but I also don’t think there’s such a thing like the „right“ timezone.
In Germany there’s some kind of cult that thinks GMT+1 is the god given timezone and a such „natural“, but in reality that just means that in winter the sun goes down at like 15:30 in Berlin where I live. And for anyone working in an office this means you go to work when it’s dark and you come back home when it’s dark, whereas if we would just stay at GMT+2 at least when going home there would be some rays of light still.
I think in the map you can rather see the division between northern and Southern/Mediterranean countries, because people in Mediterranean countries stay out longer and it’s just a cultural thing.
I’m sorry but Amsterdam is really not representative of the rest of the country in this aspect. I suspect that the huge amount of tourists ups the time. Generally the Dutch eat out at about 7 or 8.
Edit: I just noticed that this is “last seating” time which does make more sense. Although that seems an odd thing to use for an infographic.
So you haven’t read the title either? This is about late dining - so showing the latest available option seems to be a good indicator for me.
