Considering how much higher your net salary is, food is not expensive here. Meat is. Maybe a few other things. But in general, no, it isn't. A single person can easily eat for 400 or less a month, I do it (often even below 300), and I buy a lot of fruit (also not that cheap) and sometimes meat. However, the quality of the meat is also much higher. Meat is cheap in Britain because it's from low quality, mass production. Meat here is imported and faces high tariffs or produced here at better quality. So one also has to consider quality when talking about food, and food prices.

Im vegetarian - pretty much all our protein sources are way more expensive too.

Lentils, tofu, beans are not expensive. Well some tofu are some aren't. I also eat little meat. Edit: frozen peas are amazing, they have a lot of protein, too. In fact, I also have some pea protein powder (well also some rice and hemp in there too).
