It’s amazing how in America and the UK you only get a slice of pizza or a sandwich for $5, while people in Asia can enjoy a complete filling meal with rice, meat, and vegetables for about $3

The UK One made me depressed especially after seeing that he actually payed more than the Turkish lady

[elmik]

I'm Turkish but was raised in Britain and I **literally burst out laughing** when they showed that amazing full Turkish lunch followed by a bloody TESCO MEAL DEAL XD

If you order Nasi Padang for takeaway, they'll give you two portions of rice instead of one, at the same price. This tradition originated from colonial times, where dine-in usually reserved for whites. Therefore, the seller gives the natives two portions of rice for takeaway, so they can share it with others.

The way they did UK dirty with the sad cold tesco sandwich after showing Turkish lunch spread lmaooo

[ekafitriyani]

Asian to British and USA : 
"Are you guys having lunch or snacking??"

[kblacksheep]

I'm korean but that turkish lunch was the most attractive and valuable of all in my opinion.

[Skeleton_]

I love the way the person said “amazing” with confidence while eating a frozen tesco sandwich

[EvanAirlangga]

in south east asia, eating something without rice it’s called snack. so rice is the key

[kevin_anutu]

For Nasi Padang in Indonesia, if you want more rice, always takeaway, because they always give a lot of rice when you order takeway

[chillguynamedwan]

Asia: *rice packed with other sources of protein*

UK: *p a c k e d s a n d w I c h e s*

[republikindonesia]

“If you haven't eaten rice, it's called you haven't eaten”
-Indonesian People

me being an asian (filipino) seeing them having their lunch without rice:
that's not lunch, it's a snack

RICE IS LIFE <333

[Rizryan]

THE TURKISH ONE OMGOMG

Looks like a gourmet meal while cheaper than the depressing UK

[fuzzycozy]

Vietnam with a full box of rice and a whole big drumstick for only $1 is literally amazing

[farzanabhatt]

My jaw dropped when I saw turkish lunch. It's so cheap and filling

[grapefives]

The British lunch was quite depressing but it's kind of accurate for the average London worker.

[switch]

The UK lunch was pretty depressing and expensive, while Turkey's gets the most valuable (in terms of price and portion)

[jayjadhav]

Other countries: "would you like onions" or "anything else"
Meanwhile,
UK: payments accepted, thanks for shopping at Tesco.

A little fun fact for the Indonesian lunch, Nasi Padang. The price actually varied, not only with what you are ordering as the dish/side dish, it can also depends on which region you are in. As an example, at least in Yogyakarta, with the same menu as in the video, I can get it for around 20.000 rupiah (1.32 USD).
