Ate at a regular sit-down Mexican place yesterday for $4.50 (before tax and tip).

My meal was admittedly spartan, though.

“The Spartans, noted among ancient writers for their austerity, prepared a black broth of blood and boiled pig's leg, seasoned with vinegar, which they combined with servings of barley, fruit, raw greens, wine and, at larger dinners, sausages or roasted meat. Spartan boys were sparingly issued barley cakes.”

The portion sizes must be TINY for them to charge that little!
