What are the countries where 1 US Dollar is enough for one times food?
India. I know well about our place so I am sharing with you in this answer.
1 US Dollar is equal to 72.48 Indian Rupees.
You can cook a day's complete food with one dollar. One kg of good rice is 40 Rupees only. But I am now with some decent food available outside home, for 1 US Dollar.
We have all classes of hotels where one meal cost thousands of rupees and in the other corner, quality food with the low price also available.
Meals.(Lunch)
In southern India, lunch is of rice and vegetables. Non-veg things are supplied at extra cost.
The above Meal costs only 50 Indian Rupees. It comes with unlimited rice, Vegetable curry (Sambar), fish curry, boiled buttermilk with masala, soup(rasam), plain buttermilk, And with 5 to 7 types of side dish.
If you buy a fish additional you have to pay 20 Indian Rupees. The cost of fish varies according to the fish type. In small mess hotels, they will not go for costly fish items. Sardine, Mackerel, and Tilapia are the common fish variety available in the mess. For which they always collect 20 Rupees.
You can have a good Lunch for 70 Indian Rupees. If you are a vegetarian 50 Rupees is enough.
Breakfast and dinner also cost under 1 US Dollar.
It's good to see you on musing too.
The 70 Indian Rupees Details are very surprising and at the same time pleasing for me.
Pleasing ... People are getting good food in very affordable price.
Surprising ... I never thought that food could be this much cheaper not before I read the reason you provided.
Thank you @mobi72, we are here seeing the peak and the bottom. India.
