A little round up of how I ate pretty well yesterday and only spent £2.50 of my £30 food allowance

I'm currently working away in Ireland and my company gives us £30 a day food allowance. As breakfast is included I decided to have my fill and take advantage of a somewhat average breakfast buffet, with granola and fruit as a starter.

There was a selection of bread, meats and cheese so I made myself a ham and cheese sandwich with cucumber and brown sauce (a.k.a. poor man's pickle).

For dinner I went to Aldi next to the hotel and had spicy sausage tortellini which I cooked using the kettle (boiled the water, poured over the pasta in my metal lunchbox, covered and left for 8 minutes). I mixed some red pesto through and hey presto, a perfectly satisfying evening meal.

Edit: just to answer a few common questions. We get given the £30 regardless of whether we spend it or not. We don't have to show any receipts. I'm here for the next 4 weeks but home at the weekends.

Sod all these American fast food places opening up in the UK, we need the Irish Supermac's!

Genuinely a really nice chicken burger and chip-shop style curry on the fries. I'm back for 4 weeks after the weekend and can't wait to sample some of their other items.

Turns out McDonald's have been blocking them from being able to expand into the UK for the last few years. Such a shame.
