Pop Up Hotdogs - first 50 dogs are on us

[DotCommunist]

I bet those milkshakes are secretly tins of decanted nurrishment

Not to say there isn't a discussion to be had about how expensive food & drink is these days - it is expensive. But to get all shrill about these fucking hotdogs when they're selling at pretty average prices is laughable.

You can get a hot dog outside Stratford tube station for two quid.

So? you can get a burger from macdonalds for a quid. if I go rooting through the bins in town, I can get allsorts of stuff for fuck all. What relevance does this have to the point I was making?

I have to say that £10 for a hotdog, chips and drink seems pretty pricey to me too, but then I subsist on Tesco meal deals and think anything over a fiver is pushing the boat out

I suppose it's just priorities and value judgements; I tend to think of £10 as a pretty sizeable meal, whereas if others place more importance on ingredients then that's going to be factored in. £10 for a sausage in a bun, some fried potato and a milkshake just wouldn't be worth it imo.

Mmmmm.... Egg and Bacon sarnie, pack of McCoys cheese crisps, bottle of Cappella, 3 quid. Its my favourite lunch when I'm a bit skint.

Fuck me, come on the noticeboard to offer free stuff and then get 6 pages of discussion of how it's too expensive. Priceless

For me it's feta and tomato pasta, Pepperami (for the protein ) and then either orange/apple juice or Lucozade.

It's my regular lunch at work

Well, there's a completely accurate representation of the discussion

Well, not 100% inaccurate either

Saying a tenner for a hotdog fries and a drink from a street vendor was 'average' price. You can get jerk chicken with rice from a vendor in waterloo for a fiver. That sounds more average to me.

oh did someone say it was "average" price? I didn't see anyone say that.
AND DOES THE JERK CHICKEN COME WITH A MILKSHAKE! please people you MUST compare like with like otherwise there will be chaos.

Not even in the post I quoted?

You could probably buy a milkshake (or other tasty beverage) and still have change from a tenner.

Of course not. Besides, it's also daft to compare street vendors with pub grub because vendors have lower prices due to lower overheads.

Team Miser are totally winning this argument. Everybody else is riding a fixie while chomping down on a ten quid hotdog on their lunchbreak from an internship at Vice magazine

Is it street food? I thought it was a takeaway.

Yes, you might have a bit of change.
I reckon £6 is more usual for jerk chicken and rice tho.

actually, looking at their site, you appear to be able to eat in.

 

[DotCommunist]

then it'll be more than a tenner cos you pay vat to eat in

 

[killer b]

what?

 

[DotCommunist]

you pay extra on the mealif you eat in- thats why maccy d's always ask eat in or take out

 

[killer b]

Not anymore they don't?

 

[DotCommunist]

has that been abolished now? damn and I thought I was getting one over on them by claiming take out but eating in anyway.

 

[killer b]

The only place I ever see that vary their sit in /take out prices these days are coffee shops, and they advertise quite clearly.

They ask that to know whether to give you the food on a tray or in a bag.
