I had to pay 6 (7-8$) for a litre of them. Okay they were the first ones of the season and thence one can understand the special price on them but whatever... Not cheap.
But one can get a cheap pizza or iskender kebap from an ethnic restaurant (where workers are not paid properly) or a McDonald's meal with the price of them.
I think the choice is clear as a litre of them caters for two at least with cream and taters...
Not to discuss the taste.
