All McDonalds in Switzerland are closed, and Burger King only has delivery, and I’m not in their area. So, of course I’d really like a fast-food burger. And fish & chips.

Everything we’ve eaten starting March 13th has been cooked by me. On Saturdays the Asian restaurants only do dinner, and we eat our main meal at lunch. I think I’ll try ordering something next week. Thai sounds good.

I’m assuming you’re ignoring eating out when away on holidays? In which case, that’s a Nope (ie, not adrift) from me. We’ve had a couple of Saturday Night Chinese takeaways with friends this year; and I think three pub lunches after walks with friends; and recent restrictions have put a stop to all that. But for Mrs T and self, that’s basically it - it wouldn’t take two years to break double figures, but it might take six months.

BTW - it’s basically a social thing (remember them?) when it comes to just going out to eat or getting a takeaway. It might be a year since Mrs T and self did that on our own. Those things make you fat!

Ugh. Tortilla and lettuce was soggy when I got home. That’s it for me till this is over.

I was…but even then that’s still relatively minimal. We generally holiday in our van and mostly cook for ourselves, or stay with friends/housesit for friends in nice places.
