It's daily food here, that's why I said rice is food for the poor. Uk, where are you come from btw?

Rice is healthy. For the poor people there is usually more processed food like fries.
UK is from UK now.

We just usually eat rice with water spinach and anchovy sauteed with chili. It's a typical food for the poor here and I eat food like that every day. Do you know anchovy, right?

This is why I think rich countries are not necessarily rich because they have processed foods available and richer people eat fresh food like spinach everyday. I don't like anchovies but your rice sounds nice. When do you eat meat?
Everyday is hard to work out, for a week for food I say about £15-20.

Larang e rek rek.
Is £20 to buy food or to buy the ingredients first to be processed? £20 here can be used to eat for a month! Also you will get 4 village chickens and your money is still left.

There are many variations of rice here, ie: uduk rice, fried rice, brown rice, ketupat rice, etc. For meat, try googling for sate and rendang.
What's the typical Brits food?

Man, you buy all these stuff at Tesco? There are only 2 operating Tesco in where I am, and ALL the items are subject to approximately 10% tax due to imported goods! What about electricity bills and land and building taxes in UK?

Mediterranean, Mexican, Chinese, soups, salads. Bread, dairy and seafood, but no red meat. Changes from one day to the next. It's a Uranian diet!

I buy from Tesco because they do home delivery and because I don't drive it saves me walking.
Your food will be fresh and not made with sugar or chemicals like supermarkets do. Do you have to kill chickens yourself? Do you like it? Are there any vegetarians where you live?
Do you stay in Equador?
Electricity bill is £40-50 a month. Cats are £40-50 a month. Tobacco is £20 a month. Weed is £60 a month lol Rent is £350 a month. Wifi is 20 a month. I work as a receptionist in a hotel and I make £8.22 per hour. I work on average 30 hours a week. I do 8 hour shifts, but I only get paid for 7.5 hours because they take 30 minutes for a BREAK I DONT GET.
For breakfast I had a bowl of muesli with whole fat milk and a dollop of strawberry (high-protein) yogurt (DELICIOUS) and for lunch I just had two eggs mashed up with butter and two slices of toast.

Wtf? Electricity bill is £40? Cats are subjected to tax too?
Sorry, UK, I'm too alien with the numbers of high taxes like that. Actually the culture here is rather taboo to ask someone's salary but I can't guess how to cover that much goverment demand.

Sounds delicious. I assumed you still had a partner when you mentioned on the forum years ago about meeting your partner who was your ideal woman. It must be a huge change to being on your own. MY respect for you just keeps rising because you never divulge anything but just keep being cool.

Thanks Jup, I didn't know Aldi actually delivered. Could be worth looking into for me. I like the rise of the cheaper European supermarkets giving some competition to the supermarket giants we have here. I shop in Lidl because there is one just around the corner from me.
