[Breakfast! The most important meal of the day (2004-2011)]

Try a little steamed cabbage chiffonade through you hash - also a little sherry vinegar at the end as well really lifts the hash - with eggs of course

[Cheap eats in hard times]

Today I was sitting at a cafe in a local town having a coffee. As I drank it I was studying the large menu on the wall and realizing to even in these tough times my wife & could afford to have lunch there if we wished without breaking the budget.

We could have had a decent lunch for no more than $25.00 for the two of us. And we could have done it knowing that the food would be good. That got me to ruminating upon the fact that as I thought about it we could have done the same thing pretty much anywhere we've ever lived, the states, England, Spain, France. (I've put my detailed thoughts in my blog, address below.)

Thus my question to my fellow eGulleteers is: Where are your cheap, but good places? Please share.

I agree totally, i have a cafe in Newcastle, Australia - we have nothing on our menu over $20, most for less. We just bought a whole biodynamic veal ~ 80kg. We are slowly braising our way through the whole cow - for less than $20 per serve. If you try hard you can put substantial quality for less on the plate!
