olive oil vs butter is simple stuff - you can grow olives, you use olive oil, you can't grow olives, you usually use butter or lard, because you local cuisine works mostly with local sources of fat. There are huge differences in what people eat in different european coutnries. And yes, in Europe we still mostly eat our local cuisine. I guess there are some more cosmopolitan countries culinary wise, like Britain or Netherlands, but when you're a Greek, you generally eat Greek food, when you're Polish, you eat Polish cuisine 90% of the time, so you use traditional ingredients. In much of Europe people also eat homecooked meals all the time, even young single people often cook for themselves, so that's the reason.

You know, as someone whose job is making maps for a living and knows the ins and outs of these sort of data, I can tell you that maps, more often than not, lie through their teeth. Depending on how careless the map maker was when handling/dividing said data or how intentional it was to mislead anyone who reads the maps, you can be told 20 different stories with the same data when pinned to a map. The maps are interesting, yes, but almost none of them give you an accurate view on whatever subject they're showing you, so it's good to look at them with a good dosage of salt in the mix, and I can even give you an example using the road fatality map. The data is shown in what appears to be a NUTS 2 division map of Europe, but the nature of the data dictates it shouldn't even be used at a NUTS 3 level. However, they proceed to tell you the areas where fatalities are lowest in a localized frame. Why? If there's a hotspot of accidents (a particular stretch of a highway, a known intersection where big accidents happen often, etc) inside that NUTS 2 division, everything is thrown into disarray and that whole region becomes a hotspot. It also omits road density, completely disregards traffic and ignores how old, on average, the vehicles are per country, amongst other 10-15 variables, where bigger fines can also be one of them. I'll also say that sometimes it's not even the fault of whoever is making the maps, but the source of the data themselves who only provides said data at a NUTS 2 level, perhaps. I'm not going to deep dive into it anymore than that because I'm saying this to simply give you an idea on how a map can lie to you, and once you start looking at maps with this POV in mind, you'll start noticing what I said above. They are interesting, but they're very far from showing/telling you the full story.

fun fact on dinner time : we french dine at the same time as english. even though we're on the same kind of longitude, our french clocks have an 1 hour advance as most of Europe is on the same timezone (CET / CEST which are GMT+1 / GMT+2), while the UK is obviously on GMT / GMT+1. about butter vs olive oil, it's pretty simple really. butter comes from cows, they need lots of grass. the southern part of europe tends to get pretty dry with not that much grass, or in mountains where you would want goats or sheep mostly. meanwhile, the northern part is too cold for olive trees. So... butter in the north, olive oil in the south / along the mediteranee. PS : I'm french, half normand (where D-Day happened, with its famous "bocage" - lots of small fields in hilly terrain where you'd find lots of cows / horses / sheep happily mowing grasses), half "black foot" (europeans that lived in algeria).

Zofia in Poland it is Sophia in English. This name has always been popular in Poland. Zofia - female name of Greek origin. It comes from the word σοφία (sophia) meaning "wisdom". I've driven through the Netherlands dozens of times and I haven't noticed that they have "super quality" roads. The mountains in the Netherlands have a "killer" height of 400 m above sea level or 1,200 feet. Belgium 694 above sea level or about 2,100 feet

The reason Spain eats late (also for bfast and lunch) is because Spains clock is aligned with central Europe not to its solar time, so mid day in Spain is not at 12 is at 2, that's the highest point of the sun during the day. So in reality, 9 pm is more 7pm. Is funny sometimes to have meetings at 7.30am in winter and colleagues in central Europe will have full light while in Madrid is still dark.

Re: pollution in northern Italy - it's mostly due to the fact that the Po Valley hosts the most industrial cities of the country, like Turin, Milan, Genoa, but also Brescia, Verona, Mestre, etc. and the area, being a triangular shaped valley, its literally closed by two high mountain ranges, the Alps and the Appennines which block major continental winds, which makes it very difficult for pollution to "dissolve" in the atmosphere.

Belgium has some bad roads, mostly because they used a lot of concrete to create the road surface. I used to regularly drive to Antwerp to go to the cinema and as soon as you crossed the Dutch/Belgian border you instantly knew you were in Belgium based on the instant decrease in ride quality. I know that they started to do replacement of the concrete with regular asphalt in some of the places, but that just meant that you'd hit a nice patch of road only to be slapped in the kidneys again when the concrete would start again.

In the UK the driving test is very strict. Only 17-year-olds pass it first time (then they usually have a prang). Also cars more than three years old have to pass a roadworthy test every year. This used to be under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport (MoT). This Ministry has now been absorbed into the Department of the Environment, but the test is still referred to as 'the MoT', as in 'has your car been MoT'd yet?'. The car, to pass the 'MoT' test, which has to be carried out by a Department of Environment-accredited garage, has to pass on brakes, steering, tyres (they have to have at least a minimum amount of tread), lights, including indicator lights, windscreen wipers including the wiper-wells having water and liquid detergent/washing-up liquid in them, the horn working correctly. They may have included some more things in recent years - other commenters can correct me if I have left anything out. You need to submit your up-to-date MoT certificate in order to pay your annual road tax. You need to have paid your road tax in order to insure your vehicle. Driving an uninsured vehicle is a very serious offence and can result in a prison sentence.

As a Brit now living in Germany, a large part of road safety in the UK comes down to road design. For example, roads with multiple lanes in each direction are almost always turned into dual carriageways (physically separated from both oncoming traffic and pedestrians). Heavy traffic roads such as motorways also are legally required to space out junctions, so that oncoming traffic at one junction doesn't mingle and compete with offgoing traffic at junctions. Neither of these things are true in Germany. When one enters a motorway in the UK, you have to speed up while on the slip lane (on-ramp) to match the speed of motorway traffic, which makes merging much easier, whereas in Germany, you have to merge onto an autobahn while still basically going much slower than the autobahn traffic. This is terrifying to try and do in busy traffic

The high traffic death in my country, The Netherlands, is because of cyclists on an e-bikes. Especially older people, I mean above 60 years old, are over half the casualties with 54%, but the casualty figure of people above 80 years alone is 24%. In 2022 we had 732 traffic deaths and almost 300 were cycle accidents and 26 mobility scooters accidents. In 2021 the figures were much lower at 582, but the same trend was visible. Many old people changed their bicycle for an e-bike and are driving too fast, especially when approaching roundabouts and crossings and are unable to stop in time. They also have the highest amount of one-sided accidents.

As a cyclist from Germany I disagree with the road quality map. When riding from Germany to the Netherlands on bike, you can easily notice how all the roads and bike paths in the netherlands are way more rocky and less smooth than in Germany. After hearing so much about the bike infrastructure in the Netherlands, i gotta say i was disappointed. Ofc they had a lot of infrastructure but specifically the road quality was just way worse. When standing at the border it was the most apparent atleast for the bike lane: I took a photo on both sides, the dutch side was partially overgrown and the asphalt had visible rocks in it, the german side was clean, well-kept and very smooth (also wider). The bicycle speedways in the netherlands are also just like the normal north-west german bike lanes, just that they have white markings on them and aren't as smooth and most dutch bike paths aren't speedways but fietspad which are way worse in every aspect than the avg north-west german bike path (narrow, not well-kept, rocky/gravel). The Netherlands really only win with the amount of diverse infrastructure in the cities (I didn't see any drawn-on bike lanes in the cities for example). Pretty sure the map compared infrastructure in general instead of road quality and also probably counted stuff like road markings etc towards it.

Road fatalities : UK has very narrow roads in a lots of places, forcing people to drive slower and be more carefull -hence, less mortality. In some areas of Europe, it can be due to the fact that there are less cars per habitants. For exemple in France, you will notice that Île-de-France (Paris and its region) is white as well. It's because, despite the number of people concentrated here and the number of cars you will see when walking in Paris, the majority of the population use public transportation -I spend 8 years in Paris and its suburb and didn't even own a car while in the region, like a lot of people there. Air pollution : west europe have had stricter rules for a longer time than east Europe, hence the difference. Also, some countries, particulary in the east (hello inheritance from USSR), product electricity via thermic centrals that use coal, which pollute the air a lot (many are working on it). Dinner time: Super hot in the south in summer, particularly in Spain and Portugal, so people took a nap after eating at noon/1pm, and enjoyed the more bearable evening temperature in late afternoon and evening, and thus ate at those time. In scandinavia, in winter, 4 or 5 in the afternoon is already nightime... So people cook and ate earlier (electricity is a recent thing !) Canadian smoke reaching Europe : Well, I'm from France, from Bretagne (west peninsula in front of England) next to the atlantic. We're used to remove red sand dust from the cars a few time a year.

There is no great secret to UK road safety. Cars must pass a thorough safety inspection every year, and the police have a database showing if it has been passed. There is a carefully thought out highway code. The UK has a thorough and strict driving test, which focuses on safety. Motorways are designed signposted monitored patrolled and maintained with high safety standards in mind. There are sensible speed limits. In urban areas there are well engineered controlled crossings with pedestrian priority, and any motorist who has a collision at one is likely to be in serious trouble. And the law is enforced reasonably well. In short, a lot of obvious things that are done well and taken seriously.

This is pretty relatable. I drive pretty often from the Netherlands to Poland through the Ruhr area and then over Berlin. It really depends what part of Germany you're going through, the west of that traject its super hilly, so there's constantly a change in speed limit so you constantly have to pay attention to your dial. In the east its really flat, you can do whatever, there's also less road works and the road quality is so much better. In Poland, if you are willing to spend toll, the highways are quite similar in quality as the Netherlands with the added bonus of super well maintained free toilets and fancy gas stations, together with a 140 km/h speed limit. That stuff is the best of both worlds ngl. Though... every time I return back to the Netherlands, I do get a bit sentimental seeing our smooth dark highways, yellow license plates and our trademark signature super crappy bumperkissing antisocial driving style.

I think that’s at least one of the reasons Then about the roads: I’m a Belgian so obviously I’m not entirely objective but it’s my understanding that in the Netherlands, the total coverage of roads in the country is not as wide as it is in Belgium. Don’t misunderstand me you can go wherever you want in both countries but you’ll have a better chance to go from point A to point B in straight line in Belgium. But then again the other side of the coin is that it’s way more expensive to maintain such a network of roads. In addition if you consider that Belgium is a crossroad in Europe, I’m sure you can get the big picture. Thanks for all your videos by the way I really appreciate them. Th.

Norway had one of the higest fines in Europe. If the police see you driving while on your phone, you get fined 1000 dollars. And i think that is fair, as most accidents happens cuz of all theese devices.

The olive oil/butter map of Europe immediately says 'history' and 'wealth' to me. Olives and olive oil were a major crop in the ancient world (Greek, Rome, Spain) and all the civilisations around the Mediterranean. It was a major wealth producer and trade item. I find fascinating that we're still finding 2,200+ year old olive oil amphorae being found in shipwrecks in the Mediterranean.

I'm Italian and I live in the "black area" since I was born. The explanation is in a couple of contributing causes: 1) Northern Italy is the most industrialized area, with a high density of industries of various kinds (tiles, fashion, biomedical, meat processing, cars - Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Dallara and Ducati are all found in the same Italian region: Emilia Romagna -, industrial machinery, and so on). This largely also corresponds to the richest and therefore most populated area of Italy (one sixth of the Italian population lives in Lombardy alone). The concentration of so much population and industries therefore creates a lot of pollution. 2)Looking at the physical conformation of Italian geography, it can be noted that Northern Italy is closed to the North by the Alps, from the west (regions: Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont) to the east (regions: Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia); below the black zone is also the Po Valley, that is the alluvial plain known, for example, for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano cheeses. To the south of the Po Valley there are the Apennines, that is another mountain range. In short, a plain enclosed between two mountain chains (with peaks from 2000 to over 4000 metres, up to the 4809 meters of Mont Blanc on the border between Italy and France) in which a large population and industry is concentrated: the air stagnates in that area in certain periods of the year, because it is not always able to flow between the mountains. p.s.: I read others' comments, but I must tell you: olive oil and coffee in the same cup is not weird, it's a shame. Also, in Italy: olive oil is historically more used in Center-South while butter is in Northern recipes.

Southern European/Mediterranean cuisine is heavy, HEAVY, on olive oil usage. You have olive oil with bread for your entree, where you dip the bread in it, then you eat a soup made with olive oil, then you eat fish seasoned with olive oil or meat fried in olive oil, and some desserts even use olive oil as a healthier alternative for other fats.

About the higher numbers of traffic accidents in that part of portugal, I don't know for sure but I suspect the reason being that area population is actually very low and turism is very high, in fact that crimson red part is has the big highways everyone has to go through to get to the very south, that by itself already increases the number of accidents but if you now consider the number of accidents per population which is very low it will skew the results because turism does not count as population

Re road quality: As a motorcyclist, I pay much attention to road quality. I always found that in the Alps regions, Italian roads are usually of insanely good quality, whereas once you cross the border into France, quality drops so much it's not even fun to drive anymore. (Contrary to the map, which summarizes whole countries.) Can anyone relate? :D

I remember reading an article in Newsweek a number of years ago comparing "excellent" French roads to "terrible" American roads. The article pointed out that roadworks in the United States always go to the lowest bidder while roadworks in France generally go to the company that proposes the highest quality (within reason) and it is never the cheapest bid.

It's also that France cultivated having public works giants like Vincy, Bouygues, Soletanche Bachy, etc. They have to provide high quality at a reasonable price if they want to be chosen in tenders for other works. Lots of works can be outsourced / delegated to smaller / family companies by the giants but they have to deliver quality if they don't want to end in oblivion, completely crushed by the majors. Now these French giants tend to work all around Europe and are really huge conglomerates.

I think in Northern Italy it is because that is where the Alps make a sudden leap towards the sky from a large low valley and land, so I guess air gets trapped there more than normal.

Being from Poland, I can make a few comments: 1) About the Android vs iOS map: If I bought an iPhone, I'd immediately be ridiculed by my friends. Apple products are considered to be overpriced here and because of that people owning them are often considered to be show-offs who basically use Apple products to show how wealthy they are. It also doesn't help that Apple has bad reputation for poor customer service, difficulty of repairing their products by yourself or by an unauthorised service (which doesn't rhyme well with Europe's "Right to Repair") and being kind of backwards with common features (like lack of audio jacks or the reluctance to include USB-C in iPhones). EDIT: For the record, I have nothing against Apple users or Apple in general. I just know that if I owned an iPhone, I wouldn't hear the end of it from my friends. 2) Road fatalities: I'm not sure why there are so many car-related deaths in Poland but I can make a guess. Contrary to a lot of Europe, Poland is a very car-oriented country. While Europe has been kind of moving away from cars, Poles have been becoming richer relatively quickly and therefore feeling they can finally fulfill their moto-dreams. I've just found a statistic according to which Poland has the largest number of cars per 1000 people in the EU. So maybe more cars on the roads -> more people involved in accidents? Just a wild guess, though. 3) Pollution: While I think the comments you read explain well why Poland is a bit of a hot spot on the map (although I doubt the usage of coal power plants has that much of an effect, to be honest), I think there is one detail missing. Poland's air quality decreases dramatically in winter. The reason is that a lot of buildings still have independent heating systems based on burning wood/coal. Now, if you use good quality wood or coal that shouldn't be such an issue. However, Poles have an unfortunate mentality problem - most of us just don't care what we put in those furnaces. Have some old furniture? Burn it. Some plastic packaging? Burn it. Whatever you don't want that's taking up space? Burn it. During the recent winters, town and city authorities have been dispatching drones with probes measuring contents of the smoke coming out of chimneys and have been giving out hefty fines for burning illegal fuels. Unfortunately, old habits die hard.

Nie jestem zbyt bogaty więc mogłem sobie pozwolić jedynia na iphone. Ty posługujesz się jakimiś wyssanymi z d... stereotypami i legendami. Sprawdź ceny telefonów o których napisałem ( iphone 15, samsung S23 ultra, Xiaomi 13 pro ) a potem komentuj. W Polsce nie ma jakiejś ogromnej ilości samochodów, natomiast jest ogromna ilość idiotów za kierownicą. Tumanów, którym się wydaje że mają 7 żyć).

Apple might not have used USB-C, but the plug/socket combination they introduced when android phones still had all different weird plugs for years was already bidirectionally usable (so it dien't matter which way you put it in), and able to transfer more power, for a longer lifespan than USB-C. The contacts of the so called Lightning plug are bigger. Thanks to the EU they now have to switch to USB-C. (Apples Thunderbolt connection which is based on the USB-C plug can transfer more data in less time than the USB-C standard, but is downward compatible.) Yes their products are very expensive. But if you are just an enduser and not a tinkerer, they for decades have just "worked". And had many features included for which you had to pay on other devices. I bought my first apple device when you could not updatethe operating system of a windows pc without having huge problems to get all the programms to run again. The apple device just worked. I was amazed that every single program worked after a complete change of the OS. Sure other operating systems have caught up (and even became similiar in the user interface to apples os) but most aren't there yet in OS reliability in my experience. to the road fatalities, i don't know much abot the situation in poland, but the map to me also shows transit routes a little. On big transit routes there will always be more road fatalities, as people who drive long distances are more tired and thus make mistakes out of that. Also income can play a role: newer cars =easier to survive an accident. And car safety checks: I remember some years ago turkey tried introducing what the germans have with TÜV. The first few weeks they had huge problems as most cars didn't pass. (not even close) And i have no clue outside of a few countries in central europe how the situation is about road safety checks for cars. (how strict, in which timeframe etc.)

W razie jakiejkolwiek nieprawidłowości, stacja diagnostyczna miałaby duże kłopoty. W UK kontrole techniczne to fikcja. Wiem, bo mieszkałem tam i miałem tam zarejestrowane auto.

But the road safety checks are only one possible reason of several. The most i still think has to do with transit. (I see it here in austria, on transit routes where people travel through our country the accident rates and death rates are higher. Because people who go from the netherlands or northern germany to turkey with as few stops they can, fall asleep while driving. The main reason for road deaths on one of aour roads for decades... They all fall asleep on the same piece of road strangely.)
