Show Travel Broadens Tourists' Views On Food Prices American tourists who traveled abroad this summer came home with a new appreciation ap-preciation for U.S. food prices.

One tourist just back from a visit to Sweden reports his tab for five hamburgers, some French fries, and a soft drink added up to a whopping whop-ping S27 in American money. Another businessman who went to London said a dish of strawberries and a cup of coffee cost him $5. Meanwhile, in Japan, beef costs range upward from $12 a pound. |
