OK, I bite... What in the world is the evil eye, Turkey?
Successful_Try543@feddit.de · 24 pts · 2y
I think, they mean the Nazar amulet, which shall protect against the evil eye (Böser Blick), not the evil eye itself.

Assume they mean a protective amulet against evil eye.

I think there's an error because it says "chocolate" for Ireland, Belgium and France but it should be Ireland, Belgium and Switzerland

Yeah sorry we're getting rid of Switzerland and just making it France 2.

Forty years as a Spaniard and I just learnt now tourists come here to buy espadrilles, which is even a word I just learnt from this map.

39 myself and this is the first time I've heard the term espadrilles, for me allways had been "zapatillas de estar por casa". The more I know!

They mean this type of traditional outdoor shoe. Espardenya is more of a Catalan thing, and popular as a souvenir. Though calling it "most popular" might be a stretch.

Hey I was just telling my girlfriend yesterday that the best way to spot a tourist in Paris is to look for a beret
Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
Was walking past the Musée d'Orsay one day and saw a family strolling along enjoying the sights.
The teenage boy ran up behind his dad and flipped the beret off his head
I was not surprised when the dad gritted his Uncanny-valley teeth and roared "GADDAMM IT RANDY!!!!!!"
😂

When the doctor tells me I have cirrhosis, I will fondly remember my time in the beer motherland.

They've forgot to colour some islands with matching colours to their mother country, e.g. Bornholm, Gotland, Sardinia, Corsica, ...

Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it's pissing it down with rain here in the UK?

France is there twice
Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
We've had first France. But what about second France?

I'm a little surprised the Netherlands isn't tiny windmills

It's a bit unsettling that this is about the EU but it calls it Europe
anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 18 pts · 2y
Since when are the UK, Ukraine and Türkiye in the EU?
Bronzie@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
And Norway
sukhmel@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y
Since when is Türkiye in Europe?
sukhmel@programming.dev · -1 pts · 2y
Ok, I was also incorrect, but I failed to come up with a name for only the countries shown :(
EddoWagt@feddit.nl · 3 pts · 2y
Europe? Only Russia is missing
sukhmel@programming.dev · 7 pts · 2y
Yeah, and only Serbia, and only Montenegro, and only Slovakia, and only Iceland, and that's just from a first glance
EddoWagt@feddit.nl · 3 pts · 2y
Oh yeah... What a weird map
Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y
I'm okay with Russia being missing from all things
