IRELAND: "Bigg Price, compromised items in better package" European Malayalees have turned to home traditions as the price of Onam Sadya has gone up

Ireland: "Bigg Price, compromised items in better  package" European Malayalees have turned to home traditions as the price of Onam Sadya has gone up, there are no offers in restaurants and shops.

"Kuthari Chorunnam Tumbappoo Sadya Let's prepare" ..Everyone knows that Onam comes and it is expensive this year, there is no offer and there is no rush at store or cater except some unavoidable community gatherings.  

It is an absolute truth that no one goes to the store except to buy essential items. In Europe fish and meat prices are higher than before, only chicken prices remain the  same as compromised . When the day comes to Onam now, the Malayalee's say that the prices of vegetables from own country are higher than during the Covid period in the European markets, including the Malayalee store and Asian shops. The prices of goods in the local markets were also higher, with prices rising by 1.00 euro to 2.45 euro per item from the previous price. Weekly shopping, which used to cost 100 euros, is now unaffordable. Also, keep the family budget tight when the school opens.

The inevitable Onam Sadya will be confined to self-cooking or group cooking at home this time, like one can cook one item and eat together, If one person wants to order and eat Onam Sadya, it starts from 23 Euros and up, and if it is a family, it jumps to 70 to 90 Euros. "Bigg Price, compromised item in better  package" as people says about packet Onam is not relevant. 

But now people think that there is no increase in salary other than the cost of everyone increases and so it is better to make food at home than working overtime and eating Onam Sadya. You can take photos and videos of the dinner parties at home, and if you want, you can also send them to your Facebook reel or Instagram, and the cost will be reduced. Once prepared, everyone can welcome Onam in a traditional way with 10-15 dishes starting from 50 Euros in the comfort of home.

The warning that the Asian restaurant and catering businesses will face a crisis as people have started withdrawing is also giving no hope to the Malayali business. Catering and restaurants are mostly under threat of price hike. The on-arrival processing charge, Brexit changes, the Russian war, fuel prices and electricity bill hikes have all already put people off the shop floor. With the increase in the burden of living, the tendency of Malayalis to abandon shops and restaurants is also strong. Major food processing distribution agencies signal that this fear exists. For all of them, the cold season will become a  season for all.

In the UK, a Malayali restaurant in Leeds has reported a 40 per cent drop in turnover, the owners have revealed. This trend is everywhere in the UK. Many people have to ask how can they go out to eat in a restaurant when their entire salary is spent on home loan, rent and bills and it is not even enough for food. The fact that even the birthday and parties of the children are moving from the hall to their homes is also a sign of the impending trouble.

The family who organized the gathering in the past few days revealed that if they invite two hundred people and prepare a feast without luxury, it will cost at least 4000 pounds in UK or 3000 euros in Ireland. Some families say that when they said that they need 300-600 euros to make the hall decoration, they bought four balloons and tied the decoration to them. Better yet, an outing with the kids, a movie or ice cream at an Irish restaurant is the new trend. A set dinner with a full course in Ireland does not cost so much priced even in luxury. And now mostly on Europe trips

No matter what reductions are made in food, an Onam Sadhya cannot be served without more than 12 dishes. Even if you call a hundred people, it is enough to set aside a good amount for this items all alone. With the increase in the price of food items like fish, meat, vegetables and condiments, there are many people who are even thinking of stopping the catering service. 

People are also turning away from community programs. If you want to attend a program, you have to spend more than 80 Euros and the groups and disunity about the programs have made the Malayali community tired and divided into small groups. Things came down to whether I should pay cash to listen to him and her. After the covid, Malayalees spent their awakening in travel. Commercial and community interest is now directed at newcomers who know nothing.

Many catering establishments are now reluctant to take large orders. A Malayalee restaurant in London has faced a backlash after it advertised a family of four for Onam Sadya for £70. The vendors who advertised with the picture and name of the local chef are now faced with a situation where they have to face the anger of the locals because of the price. It's been 90 for the All family in Ireland. Get ready and welcome Onam with abundance.
