Without paying much attention or zooming in I could tell this was Dutch. Then I saw the white chair, the cheese and de Ruijter.
The white chair is TripTrap made by Stokke (At least the original design, guess it's been pirated by other makers) This could have been any Nordic country as well apart from the details ofc :) I blame IKEA for that
So the Norwegian Forest Cat is sitting on the Norwegian children chair :)
Edit. Think it might be a siberian actually...
They're Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.
How many toes do they got?
I must know!
I'm not entirely sure. But, one thing is for certain, Salad Fingers likes rusty spoons.
Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).
No.
I'm sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I'm weird so...
Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I'll ask if it's a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.
All good, I was just confused is all.
I'm not sure if Maine Coons specifically have a genetic predisposition for polydactylism, but I do know that it's a relatively common trait that's paired with them because of selective breeding.
Sorry, just 4 at the end of the paw.
The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.
Pre-sliced is fairly popular in Scandinavian homes now
Well, there's always some people with no self-respect, but they're hardly the norm.
Too lazy to slice, in Norway it seems to be the majority
We've switched back and forth between pre sliced and blocks. But stayed with blocks after watching an episode of "Keuringsdienst van waarde" where you see how much un-cheese presliced cheese actually is.
In the Netherlands we have both. It just depends on how lazy you are.
Well spotted!
