I’ve been on a diet. A supervised carbohydrate-controlled diet. Which rules out a lot of cheap food. And that really limits the eatforafiver options.
I miss doing eatforafiver. So when I’ve done what I need to do with my cholesterol and triglycerides, I’ll be back.

Hi Dave,
am listening to The Doors’ L.A. Woman, and the track Been Down So Long – this always reminds me of your dislike of this track when I used to play it in Munich sometime last century.
How is your diet going – and, more importantly, when is eatfforafiver returning?

Hi Joe. Gave that song another listen. Yep. Still hate it. Diet worked while it lasted. There’s only so much rocket one can eat however. It’s now quite difficult to find anywhere that still does reasonable food for a fiver and I’m not really sure I want to start again. It was great fun while it lasted. I got to know a lot more of Dublin, met a lot of interesting people and ate some unusual food. How are you? Are you ever in Dublin? It’s been a while. DM

Hi. Hope your health is back on track. Love this blog & miss Irish frugal websites like this & cheapeats & the fantastic lidltreats, all of which seem to be out of action. These days its hard to get a meal for a tenner, let alone a fiver. Id also be very interested in low carb eating out as I try to eat paleo (with a lot of cheating!) too. If you ever revamp it into something else let me know. Thank you.

Hi Joe. Unfortunately there’s no known cure for old and fat. Also, as the number of cranes on the city skyline increases, the number of places offering cheap food has gone the other way. I think ‘eatforafiver’ was of its time. I’ve toyed around with eatforatenner and other formulations but, meh … DM
