As in with whatever the current minimum wage in your country is (since some countries make a difference let's say an adult 21+), can you buy a full meal in your city/town/region from a restaurant/food place?
I know full meal is a vague description but what is offered will vary much by country to country. Let's just say something that you think would fit the following descriptions:
1) I would count street food but not cold food from the grocery store. Anything that doesn't require any assembly or cooking from you and is a hot meal
2) would fill the average adult up (at least enough for a proper lunch)
3) has different components/ingredients like I wouldn't consider a giant portion of fries a full meal
So I guess the main question is if it at all possible to get a prepared for you, filling meal with minimum wage.
But for a follow up
1) are there lots of different options for variety? Like can you for example only buy pasta for that money but everything else is significantly more or could you get a burger, a pizza, fried rice, ramen ect… All within that budget
2) is it possible to have semi healthy meals? I am not talking lean salads kinda healthy but something with veggies, proper protein, not only deep fried/carbs?
Curious to know the buying power of the minimum wage in the different countries.
Edit:
Should have specified… I meant with one hour of minimum wage pay, can you buy one meal.
Not whether that's feasible to do everyday (it isn't for most people) but whether one hour of working minimum wage is enough to buy a meal. So if minimum wage is 10 euros an hour, if 10 euros can get you a meal or not really
