Interesting... I can get a cauliflower here in Oslo, at an Indian shop,
for almost exactly the same price (a tiny little less actually: INR 50/-
is equivalent to NOK 5,06 today, and cauliflowers - on sale ('tilbud')
admittedly, but then that's a quasi-permanent feature - go for NOK 4,90
(technically, you end up paying NOK 5). I think that will go grosso modo
for the rest of the veggies on the list. In any case, even is the price
converted in INR is 2x,3x higher, in terms of purchasing power Norway (or
at least Oslo, for the discerning consumer), is far cheaper than India,
for foodstuff. Maybe an interesting subject for economy 101 classes ...
Cheers from the North, p+5-3D!
