Other example : funerals. What do you get there, coffee and cake. In the south they prepare a whole meal, vlaai, bread, beer, cigars. To honour the way he/she lived. Ive never seen anything else then coffee and 1 slice of cake.
Other example : go to the theatre, Amsterdam, Rdam, did you see any plates with free cake or cookies? Here they do. And the ppl grabbing 10 slices are always from the West

It's funny, because business wise I've always found people from the west easier to do business with. People from the south and especially from the north really think everything's for free. People in the north are even proud of their zuinigheid.
But speaking in personal terms, aka funerals or birthdays you're probably right.
