"Ah, the old "you're a snob" because when it comes to food I appreciate and enjoy quality. It's not about having money, even if I'd hardly any money I'd rather save up and eat somewhere nice. The times I've had to eat in places like Wetherspoons I've genuinely felt aggrieved at parting with cash for average food. I'm not even necessarily talking about going to high end restaurants though, as I mentioned earlier there's a great place near me that does great food for a pound or two more than Wetherspoons. £2 isn't going to break the bank and for something that's infinitely better it's a small price to pay.

Not everyone got anywhere better to go to for a small price. We got a lovely cafe opposite our McDonalds, which while i have not been in for a while used to make fantastic burgers and i think at the time It was about £5 for burger and chips, i expect it is a bit more now. Not as cheap as spoons, but it was better quality.
So I can eat higher quality food if the need comes, but I can also eat lower quality. In fact I love when out in another town finding somewhere that does a nice sausage sandwich, with nice crusty bread.
I don't mind paying for better quality, but i also don't mind stuff from spoons.
I have just had this evening for tea some homer made air fried chips and a nice Sainsburys beef and onion slice. I enjoyed that.

i do not like all inclusive either to be honest, in fact I would prefer self catering, then I can decide to cook in or eat out, but not because of quality of food, but because I am a fussy eater ,
