I can get a new pop up toaster for $10. If you used it for a single meal for four people and threw it away, it would add $2.50pp to the cost of the fish, which these days would be around $15pp (in my local currency).

So a 17% increase in the cost of the fish.

Totally wasteful, but food for thought.

He was the sort of guy who didn't really grasp economics, or hygiene. We lived in a country where you could get fish and chips cooked for you for about $5.
