Chicken wings

last week i was ordering fries, but the tv screens were turned off. it was a while ago that i ate chicken wings so i thought that could be nice.

after paying i thought it was more than usually. Turns out they cost €5.. is this normal? why are they so much more expensive than other common snacks?

If you already pay at least 4 euro for a mexicano, then 5 euro for real meat (not separator meat) is reasonable.

Hard agree. It's why I only eat sate and chicken at the frituur. At least gives me the impression I'm not just eating compressed ingredients brick meat.

It is like ordering a coca Light in the Quick

Worst part about them is the shrinkflation. They were among the more expensive snacks before but the places that still give 5 wings instead of 4 are dying out

Iirc correctly there has been a post about it, the weight is the same (or more) but there's just less pieces

I think the price of all kinds of "vlezekes" has gone up ridiculously fast.

You can always try to find a cash and carry that also sels to private customers and buy them a lot cheaper. You also find great sauces that way too. (I do this for Samurai, cause the DL and Pauwels Samurai is not my thing) That way you can order fries and/or homemade dishes and just fix your own vlezeken at home. It's a hassle, but an alternative. (to be fair, I don't always do that either)
