I'd conceed that supermarkets have definitely improved in the UK the past few years, but value in terms of eating out I still think is a big problem - although saying even that, it's increasingly no worse than in most of the rest of Europe. I was comparing it with the US which is FAR better value. I've eatern like a king in NY and Ohio on $10, and in parts of Florida I was given a virtual banquet of amazingness for even less. I might be full after spending £5 in London, but that's about it. On the whole I found that food was taken far more seriously in the US than it is in the UK, where it seems to be viewed on the most part simply as fuel.
