is a "kitchen" also a name for some kind of appliance in the uk? because we just saw an anecdote, marked as happening in the UK, about someone "getting the wrong kitchen delivered" and that sentence just does not parse as making any sort of sense to me

@Felthry That sounds, with minimal context, like meal delivery? Possibly a colloquialism.

@squirrellilly a european friend has implied that it's the norm in europe to just... move all the kitchen appliances including the refrigerator and stove and stuff with you when you move?? which feels weird to us because who moves out of a house and takes the stove with them, what are you going to do with two stoves, and yours probably won't fit the spot the original was in anyway

@squirrellilly In our experience (our family moved a lot as a kid) the kitchen always had an oven, stove, dishwasher, sink, and usually a microwave and refrigerator too, when we moved in

@Felthry That's never been my experience, seeing a house listed as having full furnishings and appliances is extremely rare and reserved for, like, 6 figure and higher homes, places we can't even dream of ever affording.
@Felthry Most houses don't come furnished, and transporting appliances is cheaper than buying brand new ones.
