I traveled last summer to Europe and I remember thinking about how cheap every meal was compared to back home. I don't even live in an "expensive" city

Especially for lunch, pubs and food halls. They were designed for regular people with deals and prices where you can have it everyday. This is even in expensive Norway and Denmark. I got a good hot dog for like 5 bucks cheaper in Scandinavia than back home. It's ridiculous

Every time I visit Ireland I'm straight to the local shop to get locally butchered, prepared meals at 3 trays for €10. Each tray is two portions. I'm always losing weight with each visit - good quality and price is just so much better.

Exactly. Locally made delicious food for cheaper. Both out for simple meals or prepared at grocery. It's made for normal people
