Inflation: Will holiday meals cost more?

Tuesday, October 25, there are only two months left until Christmas. This is an opportunity to take stock of inflation that could affect the holiday season. Holiday meals will cost more this year, reports journalist Anne-Claire Le Sannpresent on the set of 12/13. “The addition will be salty, +25% for the price of foie gras. To give you an idea, it’s 50 to 80 cents more for a slice of 40 grams. A price that is soaring, because production on farms has fallen: – 30%. In question, the avian flu epidemic and the systematic slaughter of all ducks each time a farm is affected”she explains.

Oysters are also affected by inflation. “It’s always the same story of supply and demand. There are fewer oysters this year, due to the weather this summer. Depending on the profession, it could even be missing, especially large ones for the holidays. (…) And like everyone else, the costs of production, labor, energy and fuel, have increased. On the receipt, count 1.50 euros more per dozen”concludes the journalist.
