My guess is its the luxury ham that did it.

It’ll be the ‘toasted’ and the ‘eat in’

Ingredients might cost $2 - $2.50
Include wages, electricity, rent, profit.

It’s hard to find a decent local cafe in my neck of the woods.
The hospitality business is struggling at the moment! :slightly_frowning_face:

Does “Luxury” Ham come from a posh Pig?

It makes a reassuringly expensive sandwich.

14 dollars or £7.50 seems pricey for a sandwich - even if the ham is first rate. But a quick check on UK sandwich prices shows a Pret a Manger ham & cheese baguette comes in at £6.25 so not much cheaper. And if you go to the chain Joe & the Juice their sandwiches all seem to be £9.40 so more expensive. Life is simply insanely expensive now. !2 years ago when I still lived and worked in London the Pret normal sized latte was £2.10. It is now £4.05. That is a 93% hike in 12 years - or something like 6% each year (cumulative). Inflation was not been 6% for all those years so someone is extracting more from our pockets than they should - and extracting the urine.

Breakfast here


In Wetherspoons.
It’s the charging extra for Black Pudding that annoys me.

Those prices are quite reasonable.
