$1 in my country is equivalent to 350 naira. Naira is actually our currency in Nigeria. Now with that amount if you do local restaurants that should get you a plate of food. If you are a vegetarian, then that should get you about 3 apples, 2 cucumbers, and 5 sticks of fat carrot.

If you want to try and cook with $1 then you must have the basic ingredients you need to cook with at home because #1 will buy just the fish you need or just the lil quantity of meat you need to make your meal.

I guess our currency has lost its value. It's a pity $1 can't do much here and most of us do not earn upto that per day
