What currency are you talking about? Dollars? If so...which dollar? If you are talking Yuan, then I suppose $230 isn't far fetched. Then you probably would be correct that a $40 turkey in Tuktoyaktuk would be worth $230 in Chinese Yuan. I won't dispute this. Though in my neck of the woods a 7kg bird would cost around $20, depending if I am just gonna buy a generic brand and not a Butterball or something.
And since I can't put this image into Google Butcherate, could you please tell me what this picture says?
Nah, I converted it to American dollars. Was about 1500 Yuan, although that also included a whole bunch of side dishes.
And the photo says Big Forest Special/Rare Animals Trading Company (大森林特种动物商行). Nothing exciting, sorry
Ok, this year my family was considering on having the local grocery store provide our thanksgiving meal for us, and the bill for the turkey and all the sides would have run us about $200. So, I consider that price to be normal.
wtf? How? Is your family massively huge in number and/or super obese? I can't fathom $200 for one meal. When I was a kid, we'd spend that for, like, a month and a half of food.
