Food Snobbery

Mini Bun Towers.

The high cost of fuel has resulted in the average Joe reconsidering their options on where to spend the pennies. While some people may have no qualms and preference on where they shop for food, there are a surprising number of people who are food snobs and refuse point blank to be seen in the local frozen food store. I personally don't have a preference on where I buy my food unless it's chocolate cake where Sainsburys and M&S would top the list.

Hong Kong has the same dilemma as the UK as the cost of living increases. The locals enjoy eating fresh food and refuse to buy food that has been dead more than 2 hour prior to being served at the dinner table. Yes, they are that fussy. Therefore with the higher fuel prices and a more affluent China this has undoubtedly resulted in people having to reconsider the options available. I buy my food where and when it is convenient for me. I don't cook enough but eat out most of the time and as I am one person, the cost of feeding me is the same when I cook or eat out.

Nonetheless, it would be interesting to watch how things pan out. I just hope that the elderly and the very young will not suffer.
