The Everlasting conundrum of where to Eat

Every time someone brings up the query "so where are we going to eat?" an inexplicable silence or a massive discussion arises and feeding the grouchy mood the involved people in the discussion already suffers by.

While everybody enjoy the same dishes or even worse – they are allergic to certain kinds of dishes, and to top off you have to plan for the vegetarians and their specific requirements, oh yes there are several categories of vegetarians ranging from the ones that can stand some fish or egg in their meals to the ones that refuse to eat if the hardware their food is cooked and served upon previously has been in any contact with any form of meat or produce that is in their not allowed list.

Once you have managed to sort out the details of your group you have to find a location where you all can enjoy this food course. Just pray that whatever location you choose has not been bad to anyone in your party or you will likely hear this comment “I hate that place, they have the worst ugly interior decorations“.

So what to do?

While not being Masterchefs here – we do know what a good time is and today we’re having a look at how you can get a good meal on a strained budget; something we believe all would like in these times. We may be out of the recession but that doesn’t mean we are all made of money and even if you have it solid you are almost certain to have that friend that still struggles a little bit and on their list of priority an extravagant meal out is just about down at the bottom, possibly outranking working triple shifts.
