Does it ever make economic sense to dine at a classy restaurant? Experiencing an unusual ambience and treating your taste buds to something different is obviously a pleasure, but is paying over $50 for a meal that would cost $15 if assembled at home with supermarket ingredients over the top?
If your main concern is value for money then you're welcome to order McDonalds, or stay at home eating ingredients bought in bulk. Buy yourself a 5 kg block of lard, sacks of white rice, potatoes and flour, a crate of pot noodles and home-brand baked beans. But I'll be dining out, poorer but happier.
Some people (who shall remain nameless) recommend against eating Indian food because of the small portion sizes compared to other cuisines. However I appreciate being able to sample a variety of mains without experiencing the dreaded bloating.
Must go now. Am off to blow my day's wages on a meal.
