The most recent meal that I have had was breakfast this
morning. Everyday is exciting in the Sodexo dining hall because it is always a
scavenge for real food. Most days, only a few options from Sodexo actually look
eatable so there are rarely many options to pick from. Luckily, breakfast is
very hard to mess up so every morning I start with scrambled eggs, hash browns,
and cereal. I had this very average meal at the Halls dining hall at the
University of Denver. To get to the dining hall for me is no hard task because
I live 3 floors above it. It’s only a short walk down the stairs for me to get
food. I went down to eat alone but ended up seeing some friends down there so I
ate with them. There were three of us and we all live on the same floor in
Halls. As far as the meal went, it was extremely… below average. Sodexo is not
what I would call a five star dining experience. In fact on most days it would
qualify as a half a star experience for me. At best the food is eatable but
most days I have to order in because I cannot figure out what the food is. I
would have to say that it was a remarkably average breakfast.
I'm surprised you can even stomach the scrambled eggs in Halls' dining room. Every time I've had them, they're runny and seem undercooked, and it's hard to undercook scrambled eggs. I always ended up with problems after eating scrambled eggs, so I had to stop. Props to you for having an iron stomach!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this phenomenon, as it happened quite frequently when I was living in the dorms myself. Having a compatriot with which to share a "meal" usually adds to the experience no matter how good the food is, especially if you are able to express your feelings about the overwhelming adequacy (or inadequacy) of the food.
