True, Vanilla, the £5 is main meal only, all drinks are extra.
The quality of food in England is, in my experience, far lower than here. Add lower rent, lower insurance, lower taxes and (the big one) much lower wages, and you have the answer.
your right there Purple. one of the things i most enjoy every time i go back home from the UK to Ireland is the food. Bacon, sausages, eggs, bread, icecream, chocolate, tea, ham, all meats, potatoes, all vegetables. an irish fry up is away above any fry up in the UK.
Maybe its the fresh damp air the food is consumed with..definetly helps the appetite and taste buds.
In my experience, I totally disagree that the quality of food in England is worse than here. I would say it's very similar. In the supermarkets, it's pretty much identical, and in the restaurants, England has a mix of everything from average to 3 michelin star.
I've never has a problem with the quality of the food in the UK. ( Indeed, I'd make the trip over just to get a proper curry
Many places in the UK also do all you can eat buffet food, for very reasonable price. When I was there last, there was a fair crowd in them in the middle of the day.
I can't stand carvery stuff. I've tried Toby a la carte, and it was reasonable enough.

Luxembourg seems to be the place to go.
You listed a host of ingredients which are all readily available in the UK.
You don't have to go to Ireland to get "Bacon, sausages, eggs, bread, icecream, chocolate, tea, ham, all meats, potatoes, all vegetables".
You can get all of these things in the UK in abundance in any supermarket.
