RE: Could you eat a thousand dollars?

in #food6 years ago

I know it is cheating, but if you take seriously the official exchange rate of the Venezuelan government, where they say that a dollar is equivalent to 248000 Bolivares (VEF), and taking into account that today I paid 25,900,000 VEF (~ $ 104) for a pizza for two people, in one of the cheapest places in my town, then I'm almost sure it's very easy to spend $ 1000 on a meal in one of the expensive restaurants in Caracas, and probably not enough!

Of course, the real exchange rate that all Venezuelans use, which is what establishes the black market, is thirty times higher, and pizza really only costs about 4 to $ 5 ....
