Why Estonians invite strangers into their back gardens each summer (bbc.com)

Similar in neighbouring Latvia. Friends who recovered their grandparents' nationalised farm organised one there. They got to meet neighbours who lived there during the occupation. Pictures surfaced of the transformation into five tiny apartments in the late 1940s.

Can't imagine the food safety institutions even considering pop-up home cafes in my native Belgium.

Many states in the US have "cottage food" laws that allow low-risk foods (think baked goods, jams, jellies, candies, nuts, etc) to be labeled "this is an unregulated unlicensed cottage food product" and sold without a license. Belgium may have something similar.

Orthodox Jews do it every Sukkot :)

I attended a Sukkot, druing which the host jokingly called the tent a "Jew Fort" and they had some lovely food and burned some herbs and overall had a great time. I really like the religious festivals that integrate more people. Like Holi, where I got to throw a lot of colored sand or something at people and eat good food. I feel like events like that really help integrate communities.

Not Estonian, but a Swedish fellow I knew always had a summer event with lawn darts and other odd games and food each summer
