In the UK there are plenty of places where you can get food which is much more "real" but not necessarily healthy. There are lots of independent takeaways and cafes selling fish and chips or cooked breakfast around that price. There are plenty of places around markets where you can buy fresh food for that price, which is actually healthy. If you have access to a kitchen you can buy stuff and cook 2 meals for half that price.
Plenty of Indian and Chinese/Asian neighborhoods offer meals at incredible value too.
The only time I would consider something like McDonald's is in the motorway services where almost everything is run by big chains, the other time I go is because the kids get excited about the new happy meal toy.
- RamblingCTO 5y agoWhy would they talk about the US when they cite Euros as the currency?
- thorin 5y agoSorry, I must have missed that. Generally in Western Europe cheap food is easily available even if it's a cafe set menu, baguette or slice of pizza. In Eastern Europe you'd get a proper meal for that much.
- RamblingCTO 5y agoFor 5€? I would disagree. I live in Frankfurt, Germany and I don't get a lot for this price and I can't live off Döner Kebap or stuff like that. Healthy options are around 10€ or roughly $12.
