What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?
When I started hunting, I had to buy a tree stand, camo clothes, a gun, and corn to grow to in a field to attract them. I then had to get the tools to process the deer after harvesting it and the same for my son.
I could have bought a venison dinner for under $50 bucks, but probably spent thousands on that first meal.
Absolutely worth it and every deer after that. I guess the cost of the above listed amortized over all the deer, but that first one cost a lot.

That girl sure turned out to be a real disappointment.

Raised 2 turkeys. $9 each as chicks. Between the feed and building them a shelter, I probably spent close to $500 on them. No. Was not worth it.
I’ve spent a small fortune on chickens. We get the eggs, the raccoon got a couple of the birds. The minx got more. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve spent over $10 an egg for the eggs we’ve actually eaten. The chickens bring her joy, so I guess it’s a push.

Kong’s Restaurant, Magsaysay Drive, Olongapo, R.P.I., early 1962. Woman I’d been tryin to score with introduced me (country boy from Boone County, Indiana) to Pinoy-style pan-fried rice and pork adobo.
Instant addiction. Since her father was the owner’s doctor, the meal cost roughly 6 pesos (about a buck and a half). I’ve been payin for it ever since, ‘cuz she tricked me into marryin her and I ain’t been able to shake her for more’n 60 years.
The coup-de-grace was prob’ly chili con mystery meat and Sky-Flake crackers at Papagayo’s on Rizal Abenida. Cost at LEAST fifty cents a bowl . . . and that was withOUT diced sibuyas tagalog (red onions) on the side. Ya hadda ask for ’em.
Room-temp 6-oz bottle of Coca-Cola was — TWENTY CENTAVOS !!! — about a nickel. A bottle of San Magoo was FIFTY centavos, about 13 cents. Over TWENTY cents if you wanted it chilled, which was kinda hard to find in them days.
