@asayeed I want to say that inflation is out of control, but the prices in Sweden in 2016 weren't much lower - this crap would probably be 100 in Stockholm.
@Alon food inflation is pretty out of control, btw I appreciate the gesture because the place is frequented by a lot of people who come from the ketchup-on-pasta countries and I sort of know the owners
@Alon wasn't even in Sweden back then, did visit Lund in 2013 and found the lunches very expensive but I was comparing with the mensa in Saarland which is a whole other level
@asayeed I found them expensive but, more than anything, I found them bad. I was used to spending that kind of money on a neighborhood restaurant lunch that I was picking (I was teaching 1/1 at UBC and my office was uninhabitable so I worked from home), not at the KTH hospital cafeteria.
@Alon yes the institutional food is not great here but there are some good dagens lunch at private restaurants depending. Gothenburg is usually pretty good for food, IMO better than sthlm
@asayeed Yeah, in Stockholm we'd also go to off-campus restaurants sometimes and they were alright, but then we'd have to get there 12:00 because by 12:05 they'd be full, because everyone eats lunch at exactly the same time and there are only so many decent restaurants near campus.
@asayeed KTH is fine if you walk 10 minutes from campus - it's a very middle-class neighborhood of the type that was voting M/L/C back in 2014 (maybe still is, I'm not sure), with a lot of good (i.e. not-made-by-ethnic-Swedes) options. One such place even had very spicy Indian food for dinner, which I have yet to find in Berlin.
