Gold-plated chicken nuggets...

[CarverFan]

Well, call me extravagant and I know I should've slaughtered my own fowl, minced it and breaded it, but I slung a small bag of Patitas into the shopping basket just now and it left me over 20 pesos out on my bill calculations.

32 pesos for a bag of Patitas! My god, in UK a giant bag would cost 1 pound at Iceland. Only the thought of Christina and her Louboutins helps me get this into any kind of perspective...

I saw some semi-curado cheese in Jumbo - I was pretty happy at my find until I saw the price. 50 pesos for a tiny slice of cheese! I had to put it down and back away.

We need to start an expat village and start making our own goods hippie style.

Dear CarverFan:
Perhaps the price was a subliminal message from chickens who wish you would consider a vegetarian diet. But is that is not a possibility perhaps raising and slaughtering your own chickens will give you some value to their lives.

Leave the man and his nuggets alone

Processed food (nuggets, frozen pizzas etc) is definitely platinum priced here. I guess the theory is you pay a premium for the convenience factor.

What I can't believe is the price of ice cream and desserts.......yesterday I was in the Galerias Pacifico mall (I don't shop there, just walk through 'cause it's so nice in there) and I walked through the food court. I saw a brownie.......yes a BROWNIE for $21 pesos and also saw that the cheapest ice cream at Freddo's is now $17 pesos. I used to eat ice cream about once a week and now probably once every few months. You can get good ice cream at Faricci's on Entre Rios and Moreno $9 pesos for a small cone.......still expensive but uffff I'm only human and get horny for ice cream sometimes.......

Well, Zingara, actually I am already a peace-loving vegetarian and sometimes fruitarian, the patitas were for the other members of my family...I was just being facetious.

So am I CarverFan. Almost vegan. Never perfect. Only trying to be better.
Not preaching but I do recommend a movie I just watched: Forks over Knives.
Its main point is that our diets are getting us sick but by changing it we can immediately get healthier.
