What are the countries where 1 US Dollar is enough for one times food?

There are quite a number of impoverished countries, developing countries and third world countries where a dollar would buy you a normal meal for a middle class or lower class but I'd be answering based on the country I'm used to.

From where I'm from, which is Nigeria, a US dollar is equivalent to 365 naira by current exchange rate. With 365 naira, a low class citizen and middle class citizen cannot cook with this amount because it's too low, he/she would be needed like 3-5dollars or about a thousand five hundred naira to cook a proper food but if the person decides to eat at a local buka, 365 naira is just enough to eat a decent meal just to get the person by till he/she eats the next meal.

However, a dollar worth of food here, is not a food that night necessarily satisfy the eater but just to get the eater by till he/she gets home and eat a properly cooked meal or goes to an expensive canteen where you have to pay more to eat well.

A dollar can only be used to eat a decent meal when eating out at a local buka but cannot be used to cook nor eat a well garnished meal right here in Nigeria.

Sort:  

I agree with you, there are many countries in the world where $I USD is not enough for a proper meal this could due to many factors ... Let's leave them for another discussion.

Thanks for your input.
