On our trip last spring we were somewhat shocked to see the prices of fish & chips at Oban. One evening a young guy who was on a run with a van collecting laundry at our rented appartment told us that he used to buy fish and chips for dinner before returning to his family's business several hours drive away. He was more than happy to accept a plate of pasta that Alis was cooking.

We certainly ate some good seafood while we were there but paying what we saw as restaurant prices for take-away seemed a bit rich for us.

By the way: Prosecco seems to have become the universal glass of sparkling wine. We consume quite a bit during the course of the year but we do have sources of supply for excellent Prosecco at reasonable prices. Since Prosecco does come from a fairly limited area we do wonder how so much is now on the international market. confused2
