Again, vegetarian based ingredients. It’s understandable why a seafood restaurant would be expensive due to the cost and short shelf life of fish. My go to Indian order is usually a samosa (pastry, peas, potato and spices) garlic naan (flour, oil and spices) and a palak paneer (spinach, paneer, oil/butter and spices). It has nothing to do with the food being Indian. I usually end up spending close to what I would spend on sushi at an Indian restaurant and to me based on ingredients it never made sense and portions are usually on the smaller side. [/quote]

Garbage argument.  Many pizza places charge almost $20 per pizza now.  And you need one per person. All pizza is is flour, water, yeast, salt, some tomatoes, and cheese.  Even a veggie pie will be $20+ these days.

Yet people pay it with a smiley face while simultaneously complaining that $17 for a veggie Indian dish is ‘too expensive!’.  [/quote]
A large 8 slice pizza is being eaten by 1 person? For $20 I get a large cheese pizza and can comfortably serve 2 slices per person and we will be full. [/quote]
DP, but I'm guessing they are talking about the thin napoli style pizza, which are meant for individual portions (I always share anyways).[/quote]

Pizza is stupidly cheap, that's why it's the favorite of cheapskate managers who want to buy their staff lunch. Our director brought in ONE large pepperoni pizza that was supposed to feed her staff of 10. Most of the staff either don't eat pork or don't like pizza. Someone suggested she bring in samosas instead and she agreed until she saw what they cost!! We ended up with a potluck.[/quote]
