Someone once said when a black man becomes president, pigs will fly. Sure enough, 100 days later, 'swine flew'.

I wonder if low season would have something to do with the lower prices.... :shock:

In Adelboden 21 Swiss for Spag bol the exchange rate was 1.58 = £13.29

In LGb 10 Euro for Spag bol the exchange rate was 1.06.............= £9.43

Total difference between Switzerland and France for Spag bol.......= £3.86

Now I call that more expensive than France :wink: :wink:

That's more than I would pay for spaghetti bolognese in Switzerland so it depends where you are. Last time I was in France the food was disgraceful regardless of cost as well, a chef serving it up here would be expected to fall on one of his kitchen knifes if he had the cheek to pass off that sort of rubbish. The time before I got food poisoning for the first and only time and I'm pretty well travelled :lol:

I've never seen anywhere where prices for food are lower in low season but it might happen somewhere.

A lot of Swiss food is fairly plain though, there's a general feeling that the quality of the ingredients is high enough not to need some fancy sauce and it's a matter of pride for most restaurants to use local ingredients.

They were the price advertised in Adelboden but I have always found the food first class in Switzerland, france and Italy in fact the only time I was food poisoned was on a holiday in Turkey
and it was no fun so I can empathizes, never returned to Turkey again or since. As a matter of interest ise how much do you pay locally for Spag bol .

Are you saying you have never been back to Turkey because you once got food poisoning there? Thats a bit like saying you emmigrated the UK because you once caught the flu :shock:
