College food.

[Sronpop]

I have chips absolutely everyday in my college, sometimes on their own, sometimes with a 1/4 pounder, sometimes with chicken burger, sometimes with sausages, some times with beans, its all good. I could easily eat chips everyday for the rest of my life.

Damn Im really hungry now.

Taco night and an omelet station - we lined up around the cafeteria for that nonsense.

I'm going to have to agree with the people saying things like spag bol, stir fry, curry etc - and stuff like macaroni cheese (although I suppose that comes under 'pasta'!) is good as well.

I would say, however, that the meal option I go for most often at the caf at uni is the 'Select-a-sandwich' thing. You can choose your type of bread (white, wholemeal or grain, even rolls, turkish bread and paninis)and then choose a meat (chicken / smoked salmon / beef / bacon /roast pork) and 3 'veg' (carrot / tomato / gherkin / cucmber / alfalfa / lettuce / avocado /cheese etc etc the list goes on) and then as many sauces as you like (everything from pesto to hummus to roast garlic aoli). Then if you want you can have it toasted. *drools*
I realise this sounds kinda like subway, but the point is that a) people love subway, and b)the sandwich will only cost you like NZ$8, and that's if you want extra fillings and the pricier bread..I get a huge, awesome sandwich, crammed with fresh, tasty and healthy fillings, for NZ$4.50. Which if XE.com is correct, is like US$2.80.

I don't know if that's cheap by your caf's standards, but man, does it taste good... =)

I would suggest keeping records of the times when you're busy and your dead times based on these cards. Before you get busy, you do the standard mass prepare foods, but during the dead times, that's when you get prepped food.

You'll need a pretty long history of the times, probably at least a year.

Healthy things like salad. I'm at college at the mo and all the cafe makes is stuff like bacon sandwiches and bacon rolls not really healthy at all.

That there is one damn fine idea!! People here do the, "well we're usually busy at these times", but there's no solid record. Thank you!

Also a good call! We actually started a burrito night on tuesday and thursday, and the students go absolutly nuts for it. They just lose their damn minds!! Omelet station is a really good idea too! Thanks much!
