Unless your local prices are seriously outrageous, most traditional cuisine from anywhere will fit that bill. At least the stuff I make comfortably stays below that number. If anything how would a home-cooked meal even get close to $10 per meal?

    Grocery prices in my city are kinda nuts if you want to add fish, chicken, beef or pork to your meal. A salmon filet is easily over $16/400g, before any other ingredients.

    well no, you kinda need access to the ingredients for that cuisine.. Like, nordic (and even a lot of central european) grocery stores don't just have galangal or whatever. Plus if they do it's gonna be horribly expensive, since it's imported.

    True, I guess the implication is more "traditional cuisine that can be made and/or substituted with local ingredients." It also helps that a lot of the unique regional stuff (like galangal) is spices that can be done without in a pinch. Not to lessen the importance of using the right spices, but even in the worst case virtually everything will taste good with appropriate use of salt, black pepper and (sometimes) vinegar.
