My dorm food was surprisingly
good.
Breakfast comprised of a selection of cereals and/or toast and/or hot foods (fried egg, scrambled egg, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, sausage and bacon) + tea/coffee/OJ.
Lunch comprised of cold salads, baked potatos with fillings and/or soup - or we could take a food token to any cafeteria/bar on campus and purchase food/drinks/alcohol with the balance. Evening meals included a vegetarian choice, a selection of hot and cold salads, 3 choices of main meals (usually 2 meat, 1 fish), soup, fruit and a dessert (usually custard based, delicious and full of calories) and fresh bread.
As filling and satisfying as the food was at my illustrious alma mater (Exeter University, Devon, England) I suffered the indignity of adding 14 pounds to my weight in the year I spent in the dorm.
Luckily the next two years living in a student house on a budget hindered by an increased consumption of alcohol and narcotics allowed me to not only shift the excess 14 pounds, but also an additional 1/2 stone.
Don't worry, soon after leaving, I quickly put it all back on and more due to the delights of my office job and sedentary lifestlye.
