Default The Weekly Food Shop Around the Globe

Thought this was quite fascinating (despite being from the Daily Mail), although I'm not sure the Canadian contingent is very representative of Canada - isn't it a bit pricey in Iqaluit? I was surprised at the amount of booze the Germans have and also the amount of pop the Mexicans have. Not surprised at the crappy diets of the westerner s though!

I don't like the look of those Aussies and the British lot could smile a bit. Are they stuck in the 70s? Prawn cocktail and cake?

It would be more interesting though if they told the reader how much they spent on food as a % of their income. Spending GBP3.20 in whichever country it was could be the equivalent of $200 in Canada for all we know...

A fine peer-reviewed publication, and objective and intelligent, as well.

One can hope that a large number of DM readers conclude that they should emigrate to Somalia because the shopping's so cheap.

A death blow to UKIP.

Bloody hell. The Aussies eat 40 fish fingers a week. I was also impressed with the display by the Germans.
