Hello all, so I got this from my Swiss neighbor and I have talked to many of my friends and this is not normal behavior. They have been living here there whole life and never gotten anything like this. Should I be worried:)

bro, if it tastes/smell good, enjoy it
there are very nice people in switzerland, I love my neighbors
even my landlord gives me a cake for my birthday, homemade
if you are paranoid, throw it out and call it a day
and tell them it was amazing
You should be happy to taste Rhababerchueche! It’s the best. Put some whipped cream on top.
I would ring and ask if you wanted some cake, but I am swiss and give selfmade stuff often to my neighbours 🙂 so I wouldn’t worry too much.
I’m jelly 🪼
Awwww this is super sweet. The only thing I get from my neighbours are complaints.
its not common but i dont see how this is abnormal. its friendly neighborly behavior.
actually this is totally normal in my neighbourhood. we do this all the time. give them something back and you’ll receive nice things again and again
That is absolutely normal, no worries and enjoy! If you wanna live you paranoia to the fullest throw it out but at least have the decency to lie about it.
35m born here and lived here since then. This is normal in a nice neighborhood…. absolutely normal. Why should you ever be worried receiving a homemade gift… smh
Totally normal in my neighborhood
you’ve talked to many of your expats friends is what you mean
Buddy, I’m a student here from outside the EU, never thought any place would be more hospitable than my home town.
I was gifted cake before my neighbors were leaving for Christmas and easter. And candies from a girl from Ticino before St Lucia. Enjoy, there are very nice people here.
Don’t touch that!!
Send it to me right now 😋
yes soomeone gave you a cake be terrified
Normal, I‘ll take it if you don’t want it.
In the countryside, that’s perfectly normal -I love bringing my neighbors a little something.
A shared rhubarb tart is twice the joy, isn’t it?
That’s exactly why I love the Swiss.
It’s normal, even more if the neighbours have a garden or communal one. We harvest a lot and then share.
1. where do you live?
2. how can i move there asap?
So swiss social modesty… “Have a nice cake, but I’m made it sure to show that I don’t gift it because I want to be nice and welcoming, but becaue I just made too much”
man im jealous, that is the beeeeest cake
Lol are you worried you are getting poisoned or what? I mean, they might have forgot to peel the rhubarber but I would still try it 😛
‘Should I be worried?’
We really have forgotten how to be human, ey? What possible reason could they have to poison you or screw you over in other ways, since – as you said – they’ve lived there all their life. I mean come on man.
It tastes better than it looks, and you are lucky. Enjoy with cream ab sugar to your liking. And be nice, they like you it seems.
Where I live it’s normal. We exchange cakes, zopf, cookies and invite each other for dinner. But I also live in a rural area.
You get bice things, we open a topic
You don’t get anything, we open a topic
Man the era we live in, people lost their faith in humanity
so often ppl complain here, swiss people are cold, now look at that Rhabarbarchueche gesture, which is really sweet and OP be like – thats to much of niceness, must be something weird! ask on readdit!
make some tea and njoy the chueche!!! its delicious!
I wish I had neighbors like that. My neighbors don’t even give me store-bought cake, let alone homemade.
No, you don’t need to worry. It used to be common practice to give your neighbors what you had left over, not just in Switzerland.
In Hawaii, there’s even a name for it: “Aloha Spirit”
Enjoy.
You can eat if with Schlagrahm if you like.
I am not Swiss, but shared home made sweets with my Swiss neighbor and she was genuinely happy 😊
I think they are just being nice with you. Enjoy the cake 😊
-get’s gifted cake
-goes on reddit
-“Is this normal?”
Bro, just eat the cake
totally normal. not too long ago a neighbour sent me a message thanking me for the easter chocolate. I was confused and told him it probably wasn‘t from
me. he was just used to it that some goods end up ins his mailbox being from my household 😉
contrary to reddit, not all Swiss are incels who keep to themselves.
Is your neighbors name perchance Barbara? )
Isn’t it great to have lovely neighbours like this!
(Unless there’s arsenic inside that cake, but you’ll find out when you eat it).
well if you feel anything unusual in your tummy, be sure to have someone around who did not eat/taste it… very suspicious 😜
Why is it in english tho?
Swiss people are nice and I think everyone is just happy that the winter is over and happy to share 😄at least is how I feel, I am not Swiss tho but would totally demolish this cake
If your reaction to being nice is „this is not normal behaviour“, I feel sad for you. 🙁
Yeah happens here too Im not used to it but I try to give something back atleast.
