The Old Dog Experiences: A Rare Boys Night Out! Italy Verses Switzerland. The Girls Won!

in #travel6 years ago

@lellabird60 and her sister are away for a few days so my brother in law and I decided to go out for dinner after work. We went to a restaurant in Ticino Switzerland while they were in Veneto Italy.  

The funny thing is that our wives were eating dinner at the exact same time that we were. We exchanged photos using WhatsApp and compared prices. Who got the better deal? Let's find out!

Here's What We Ate!


Oven fired pizzas! Mine was with Arugula and thin slices of parmeson cheese and his had slices of eggplant.



Here's a close up to get your mouth watering! It was gooooood!


I was bad and so I also had a a decadent desert! Chocolate mouse, profiterole and chocolate ice cream!


The Boys' Summary!

  • We both had a drink to start.
  • We each had a pizza
  • We shared 1 liter of sparkling water
  • We both had desert.
  • Total price: 70 Swiss Francs or about 70 USD!


Here is What The Girls Ate!


My wife's sister had a beautifully cooked steak and grilled vegetables.



My wife had a platter of various types of seafood which was artistically presented.



They both ended off their meals with a desert of profiterole. Hmmm I'm sure that it tastes good but does it look good?


The Girls' Summary!

  • Steak and Seafood
  • Wine and water
  • They both had desert.
  • Total price: About 40 Euros or about 46 USD!


To summarize we paid about 70 USD for our meal and they paid about 46 USD!


What Do You Think?

  • Which meal would you have preferred?
  • Who won the night out challenge?
  • Did you know that Italy was so much cheaper than Switzerland?


Thanks for following me on my travels and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you. 
 

Until next time,   


@kus-knee (The Old Dog)   

Let's Succeed Together!

Sort:  

Both teams enjoyed their evening but as I am a conservative on spending ( great value with less) and my vote goes to girls!!

You are both wise and you're an accountant so I understand your decision!

Looks so good!!! :-D

It was! Thanks for the visit!

Thank you for the inspiration :-)))

@kus-knee,
For me it's better what you ate that night! Coz I hate sea foods lol :D Seriously it's better having a Pizza in any price than eating sea foods! Moreover what girl ate that night as desert, actually it's something doesn't look good lol :D
Hope you might not disappoint by what I said!

Cheers~

You make some good points!

Yummy! So delicious pizza.

Well as a foodie i don't mind enjoying both the meals hahah win win situation always ;)

Wao very yummy and tasty food.Your wife sister is a great cock.This vegeatable dish is more tasty.I want to eat this yummy food.Looks for the ice cream.Ice cream is so tasty.I really like pizza.Pizza is so tasty.You are right Italy was so much cheaper than Switzerland.You are so enjoying your travelling.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comment!

@ kus-knee here at my house we are fanatics of the pizzas, my choice would be something similar to your plate
did not know that Italian food was cheaper than Switzerland
However all the dishes look very delicious
Thank you very much for letting us know
I wish you a great day

Pizza is soooooooo popular!

All seems delicious....but of course i prefer the boy's meal.... :))))
I known that Switzerland is very expensive...
3 years ago i went 1 week for work there and i spend a lot of money for food...
I think boys win... :)))

Thanks for the vote for the boys!

I prefer the girls 'food but the boys' desert ... if possible. Thus the result is equal, the price becomes an average of the two.
It was expected to be more expensive in Switzerland.

Your solution is very diplomatic and a good one!

Thank you! That's what I wanted to be (diplomatic). I generally like to thank both sides. If it's possible...

A good steak with a good wine are the best for me, but I'm pretty sure my hubby will give a "vote" for pizza :P I've never been in Switzerland, but one the uncles of Paolo lives there and so I know the price in Italy (in some cities in Italy ^^) are cheaper than there ^^

Hahaha yes I LOVE pizza too! Paolo is very wise!

@kus-knee, Actually when will I go restaurant in Ticino I get grateful experience & I'll order more dishes.

Total price: 70 Swiss Francs or about 70 USD!

I think you've massive advantage ate most delicious foods. Desert so yummy. Totally starting mouth watering to mine.

Yes the food was good but the price.........??!!!

delicious foods looks so beautiful,have a great travel

Thanks so much!

wow amazing really nice tnx for share

Thanks to you!

"Hmmm I'm sure that it tastes good but does it look good?" lol strangely enough it doesn't look that good but I'm sure that the taste was way better... :)

I think I prefer the men's menu.. Maybe because I love pizza.. However the girls' price is more "delicious" and definitely wins the challenge..

You make some good points!

Both menus look delicious, especially italian, well regarding prices is just so. Cheaper is fine but i like pizza!

Pizza seems to be everyone's favorite!

They may have gotten the better deal...but I find it is also the company and ambiance that can make the difference. Bonding time can be priceless. Thanks @kus-knee

You are right. The company and the conversation were top notch.

Seriously you have ate most delicious foods. I prefer to eat desert when you ate those restaurant. Really valuable price for buying it.

Yes at home I often avoid desert but if I eat out......?

I don't know if you had the best price, but I think your food looks more delicious! A pizza always goes well with everything, although I hesitated in front of the seafood, because well done is a delight. Your dessert looks like angel food. The girls' dessert didn't look its best and everything comes in through the eyes. Point for you!

You mean that we won! Yes and I must say that my phone takes better photos!

I would have preferred your meal @kus-knee. Your pizza especially looked delicious and so did the desserts which is more than I can say for the girls'. 😱

It seemed pretty expensive though.

I would have guessed that Italy was cheaper than Switerland because, I believe, most places are. 😁

I can't say who won the night out because the most important thing would have been the conversation and, of course, I have no idea how that went. 😂

For the guys the conversation was business, sports, beer and a few other things!

Well, I was going to end my comment with "but I'm guessing the girls" but thought that might be a bit rude so I refrained. But I think, from what you've said, I was probably right. 😂

Really a smart post I lile this post
re-steem

Very tasty photos!

Hmm. Everything looks delicious and I would like to try the seafoodplate . I knew that Switzerland is very expensive and so it was clear to me that the girls have won.
Resteemed :-)

owww! the two menus also look great. Girls always know the taste of mouth: D
I choose their menu. :))

Fantastic foods I must say but that pizza is really healthy @kus-knee

wuao all look delicious, it was a great inspiration in the kitchen, heh I would eat it all

Well I would have voted for the boys if your pizza looked more like this:

Even though the boys dessert ruled, I must give my vote to the ladies!!!
