Vada Pav resembles a typical burger but has an Indian touch to it : Vada pav - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here are some images : vada pav - Google Search

It's pretty expensive for a cheese and pepperoni pizza - Do you have Pizza Hut chains in India ? :)

$10 for a 'large' pizza is pretty cheap compared to a similar one if you buy it in USA.
Yes, we do have Pizza Hut chains in India too.

$0.12 /L bloody hell ! lol, here it's more like $1.39-$1.40 per litre......a typical car, 40 litres tank full do the math, :D

How we are being ripped off here in taxes and government corruption on all levels.

How much is typical rent in S.A., for a 5 1/2 ?

The rent depends on what type of home u select.. An apartment or A villa... It varies.. An apartment ranges from 15k to 25k SAR per year.. And villas are bit costlier..

Now, now, jon888. There must be something, if we put our minds to it.

Let me think.

Hmn.

While I'm thinking, I'll mention that U.S. $10, when converted to UK currency, is just a little over half of that. So we might see about £6 at a stretch.

Well, you could buy a book in a supermarket for £4, cheaper than in a bookshop.

You can buy 6 items in the Pound Shops :D

A box of 80 teabags costs me just £0.27p using my local supermarket's basic range. Tastes just as good as the branded expensive teabags. Most supermarkets will have their own brands which can be cheaper than big brands.

If you don't have an Oyster Card (discounted travel card), £6 is likely to get you where you want to go on buses or the underground, but good luck getting back!

About 4 litres of petrol?

Overall, though, not much!

Pizza in the USA is not an expensive food and pizza chains are always constantly offering special deals.
Pizza Hut for example often have a 2 pizza with 2 topping choices each, for $10. Some times they offer
a very large speciality pizza (your choice of meat lovers, veggie lovers, etc) for $10.

I usually make my own pizza's and also I will buy frozen pizza's at the grocery, add my own toppings.

This is how I make a pizza:

-I use a large cast iron pizza pan (I think it is 14 or 16 inches)
-Oven on 400 degrees
-Bake for 20 minutes

Crust:
-Approximately one and one half cup of flour
-One small package of yeast (I use 'Fleischmann's pizza crust yeast')
-One tablespoon of sugar
-Two tablespoons of olive oil
-About half cup of warm water
(you can also make bread sticks out of this dough)

Toppings:
-One jar of pizza sauce (I buy walmart brand)
-Cheddar or Mozzarella grated cheese or some of both
-I add whatever toppings I want which is usually chopped onions, bell pepper, chopped mild peppers.

I miss pizza hot and the cheesy crusts...
I live in a very small town, there's only 1 pizza place (one food place) and the medium pizzas are 9€ each, the burguers are 16€ with fries (no soda included)
The city is about 1hr far from here and the pizzas are kinda the same price, maybe cheaper but smaller, the burguers are way cheaper at mcdonalds or hesburguer... but the nearest pizza hut I know about it almost 5hrs by car :/

And maybe that's why no company is interested in my opinion... xD

Narlamma, I think you and I are in the same boat. I live in a rural area and there is no food delivery here.
It is also a little drive to get to pizza hut or any fast food place. I think that is just as well. If you eat fast
food all the time, you get fat. :lol: Make it yourself with less fattening ingredients.
