beer and food prices

yesterday I had the excellent plat de jour at the Grimentz self service (roast pork in an apple sauce, haricot vertes in little bundles wrapped with a piece of bacon, Gratin Dauphinois and ratatouille) for 19.- chf. A coffee would be about 3.5 chf. The plat de jour is generally good value, a good meal and better value than sandwiches or snacks IMHO.

Pays not to fall over too often before lunch :mrgreen:

I guess my point is Bandit, I have never paid six quid for a beer and never will, I would normally eat a light lunch, sometimes bread, ham and cheese, sometimes a crepe so lunch for me has never been over the top. An evening favorite of mine Tarteflette would normally cost around 13 euro in the restaurants, the price increase this year to last due to the poor exchange rate would be three pounds. For me not the end of the world mainly because I choose to ski in a relatively cheap area, now I use that term "Cheap" very loosely.
What hit me more was the fuel prices driving down to Italy from the UK last summer, so my drive to LGB in a couple of weeks time should seem a lot cheaper. :lol:

I am not looking forward to filling my car at Euro prices later this month. We need a recovery of the £ pronto.

I shall be mostly cooking in the apartment during the evenings. Good job I like my own cooking :D
