What is the average cost of food and drinks in Norway?

On average, the cost of food and drink is more expensive in Norway that is in the United States. For example, a full meal at McDonald’s in America costs around $7. The same meal at a McDonald’s in Norway will cost $11.31 - almost twice as much as the meal in America. A pound of ground beef costs about $3, depending on brand and quality, in America. In Norway, that same pound of meat could cost as much as $14. This is more than four times as expensive as the meat in America.

Yikes. Am I right? It doesn’t stop there. A meal at a decent restaurant with an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert for two people will cost you about $30 in America. That same meal in Norway is $100.50. Dang. For that, you can go see an ametuer play in addition to the meal in America.
