LOL ... bent out of shape? Moi? Seriously, folks, this was supposed to be fun. My god, you took it all too seriously. No, please, I am not shaming anyone into opening their wallet and allowing the resident moths to flee. Let them be cheap, who cares!!! Just to be fair, I did go back and read all of your comments, and mine too, and quite unbiasly, word for word, thought for thought, I just had to give the edge to ... myself. Hey, to be fair, I do not claim to have had all the thoughts ... but I thought my approach was most consistent, clear and cogent. But please don't trash me ... LOL ... I am just teasing. Honestly!! Thanks for the fun, and I will not be back to this one anymore. And yes, ciao. And good luck with those veggies!!

Hi.
Well that was very interesting.
My original request for cheap seems to have been blown all out of proportion.
It's not that i don't have any money but after paying over a $2000 for my trip to the states it was a general enquiry for good quality food at a reasonable cost.
After previous visits to the states i was appalled to find out how much meat the americans consume and don't see why i should pay over the odds for a meat subsistute.
Many thanks to all the replies to my message.

One last comment I feel I have to make to L.

I am not CHEAP. How dare you.

Corby.

There's a very inexpensive Indian Restaurant on Geary in the Richmond...around 2nd or 3rd..southern side of Geary. Can't remember the name, but the food is very good. Great vegetarian curries. And...I don't recall if anyone mentioned it, but there's a vegetarian dim-sum place on Grant just off washington. It's a hole-in-the-wall. Cheap, cheap prices...lots of unusual non-meat dim-sum.

Thank you Ray.


I think I will re-phrase my request to good qualiy food at a reasonable cost !!

Yes, Corby, how dare I? LOL, surely you jest. Now, lets all think back and see who it was who asked for "cheap" ... Oh, gee, what a surprise. If you're not cheap, don't ask for cheap. Ciao.
