What as a student is your staple diet?

Sam123

What do you tend to cook and eat most of the time at uni (if anything)?

- Pasta
- Casseroles
- Chicken curry
- Spag bol
- Frozen food (but not ready meals).

I never eat ready meals, and most things I cook are cooked fresh. I don't even use standard dolmio mixes.

I do tend to eat the same stuff, but I like it and it's easy to do.

does the campus supermarket satisfy your dietry needs in general or do u find it necessary to go to the town? i dont want to be lugging food to a bus stop and then watching it defrost on a bus lol! having said that i dont shop for food myself atm so it might be a fun new experience! :p:

Spar on Campus is OK. The fruit and veg isn't that great, but they do nice salads for lunches, sandwhiches and hot dinners- which are good value for money. The meat is nice (we had lamb the other night from there) but not really nice if you know what I mean.

We tend to pay more for good food and spend less on drinking(My boyfriend is a health freak and a chef and is really fussy about the quality of food)... Generally we go to Asda to buy bulk things - toilet paper, cartoons of juice, rice, pasta, diluting juice, cleaning stuff.

There's a booths just down from the University which has some really nice food, more expensive, but lots of specials going on. Tend to buy meat and fruit and veg from there.

We also go to the Saturday and Wednesday markets for veg and the Lancaster Market has a really nice fish shop (there's also some nice fish shops in Morecambe).

So, yes our diet is varied I suppose. We both eat more than our 5+2 of fruit and veg a day, lots of soups, salads, pasta with homemade sauces and lots of fish.

In town there's a lot more choice, Marks and Sparks, Iceland, Wilkinsons and Sainsburys so yeah, if you have the time to do then shop around and save some money. There's also morrisons in Morecambe which is hell cheap. Coop is a rip off :biggrin:

Seems about 80% of my meals are delivered in tins and cooked in the microwave. I'm fond of the quickness.

- Hunger Breaks (Bean based meals in a tin \o/)
- Spaghetti
- Pasta
- Hot Dogs
- Tuna

And then the oven provides cookage of various meats.

Oh - and, still tins, plenty of fruit :smile:

I eat microwave meals, soup, pizza, chips, beans on toast, toast, jacket potatoes and super noodles... When my boyfriend's here and I have someone to cook for I'll make things like curry, spag bog etc.

Yeah, I eat crap. :biggrin:

I tend to justify my trips to Greggs by buying the sandwich with the most lettuce on in the hope that it's healthier than anything else in there and it might cancel out the sausage roll that i usually but too :biggrin:

And i really shouldn't eat as many ready meals as i do, but they're so quick and easy it's hard not to just live off them.
Same goes for those 99p pizzas from Spar
