21. College was great for all the deals you could find. We all knew where the $5 pizza with pitchers of beer for $1.75 could be found, and our athletic tickets offered two-for-one Whoppers after every game. We would eat two each! That made up for the vending machine dinners the rest of the time. No matter how good the dorm food was, we got tired of it. Top Ramen somehow seemed a worthwhile alternative. 22. Tuna Salad, consisting of nothing but tuna, mayo, and relish. And crackers. 23. We found a dollar store that carried huge cans of Dinty Moore Beef Stew, and bought out their entire supply. We didn't have a fridge, though, so could only eat when my roomies and I were all hungry (so we wouldn't have to worry about storing leftovers). 24. how about a cup of coffee a bacon egg and cheese on a hard roll off the the lab then class and a break at 10 am another coffee a danish back to class till 130 the old burger and frys and of corse you got to study and you have a paper due and lets not count out that large bag of sun chips and then a nice burger and frys for dinner at 6 pm or pizza or raman what ever is easy and quick 4 years like that no wonder I gained 25 lbs in college 25. Pizza with cold cheese - mmmmmmmmmmmmm 26. working as a nurse at my first job, with my new apt, I lived on graham crackers ginger ale and cranberry juice (supplied by the hospital). At home I made "hot dog soup' a can of vegetable soup with a hot dog chopped up in it, topped with bacos and parmesan cheese. that was my idea of a nutritious meal. 27. A tip to the Berkeley students: if you stand outside of Raleigh's and wait for someone to get tired of one of those HUGE salads, you can get the rest of it when they leave it ... just a thought. 28. My years at RU in NJ brings back all the NASTY *but at the time conveniant and good* food carts that line College Row (and other places) and lots of parties with stale chip, stale pretzles, stale everything, but I, as well as everyone else still ate it. I remember one frat imparticular. I saw there kitchen I almost threw up!!!!!! 29. Please tell us it was not sweet relish in that tuna salad 30. Back in the 'olden days' we tosted english muffins and then quick put a slice of american cheese in between two halves, wrapped it back up in the plastic to sort of melt the cheese. I worked in the cafe so a lot of left overs made their way to my room. 31. Ok,so I went to college in the late 60's. No microwaves, no fridges in the room. We weren't allowed to have hot plates, but we were allowed popcorn poppers. For you young ones, this was a rounded bottom pan that fit in a ring with a heating coil in it. I lived on popcorn until I discovered that I could heat chicken noodle soup and canned spaghetti in the popper. We would put our pop on the ledge outside of the window in the cold months. But as they say those were the days....... 32. Oh man, did that bring back memories...but you left out some of the other amazingly fattening foods I used to pig out on at Cal: 33. Pizza, pizza, pizza. Order for the late night hunger cravings. Warm it up for breakfast the next day. Yum! 34. I also went to college a LONG time ago. I went to school in the Midwest at a small, private school. We had a place called Jimmy's that was an all-night diner - you know, the after-party place. The special was called the Little Monster and was eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy. Today my generation calls that the "heart-attack special"!! 35. I made it through 4 years at Syracuse University on blueberry muffins, orange juice, chicken sandwiches and Vanilla Ben and Jerry's ice cream. 36. Twenty years ago, as a student at The Culinary Institute of America, we would drive out of our way for the occasional bologna sandwich! 37. Frito pie!! We would split a can of cheap chili and a big bag of cheapy corn chips and top it with Easy Cheese! That was a real treat! 38. i JUST got out of college a year ago, so i remember the food. the cafeteria was ok, but the meal plan got too expensive so my parents spotted me money and any money i got from work or left over student loan money went into buying food products in bulk. fruit snacks, poptarts, cereal, lil debbie ANYTHING (except twinkies as i have NEVER liked them), the five minute ramen and Hamburger Helper, Chicken Helper and Tuna Helper were my friends. and since i can cook, any other food i got, like beef and chicken was cooked up as well. lots of frying. frying is goooooooood! :) 39. mmm. nothing better at 2AM in Chapel Hill than a Greek Grilled Cheese or Bacon Bleu Cheese Burger at Hector's. Now that's some great hangover food! 40. You guys ate food? We subsisted on mostly beer for dinner...then tab (yes, TAB) for that 8am chemistry class...top ramen wasn't very good, but it did cook well in the little hot pot we could actually have in the dorm. Pizza and subs were also party food. No wonder the pounds packed on.... |
