We do have formal every night for those that wish to attend, though going on Tuesday is discouraged as that's Graduate night.

With regard to the person who wanted to know about Christ's food- the vegetarian options are terrible, but the puddings are great. The meat options seem to be variable but there's always a cooked breakfast and at least two different meat options at other meal times, along with various vagetables and snacks etc.

It's quite cheap, you can get 3 meals a day for £3.
Fantastic! That's what I like to here.
If you follow this finely crafted link, you may be able to glimpse Christ's College's culinary delights (puddings not yet coded, am working on it).

Are you a nervous eater? :biggrin:


Yes, but also because I take a very long time to eat (over an hour usually) and too much stimulation exhausts me.

Blimey, see what you mean about the prices - dead cheap.

Is the KFC very high to compensate for that or something?
Well, we do have a set kitchen charge per term, about £100 I think that you have to pay even if you don't go to hall as it supports upper hall, formal hall and gyp room facilities.

Wait...i thought it was £500 odd per year. Yours is cheaper or...?
Are you serious about racking up a drinks bill that you pay at the end of term?

My enormous-unpaid-debt sense is tingling

Ours is cheaper. Looking at my bill for this term, I paid £77 on my card for meals, plus £107 kitchen standing charge.

Your BA Dinner kicks ass. From what I remember you get drinks in the MCR beforehand, followed by yummy food then petit fours and Baileys/port/other alcoholic drinks after dessert all for 7 quid (I think)

Less than £7, and the food is better. Yet more proof that Trinity craps all over everyone else at everything, ever.

I came away from the last BA dinner I went to with a 3/4 full bottle of port. Which I proceeded to lose in the bar. Clever.

Hey, it's not my fault that you go to an inferior college.
Are you sure you're not over-compensating for some self worth issues?

Just try and believe in yourself dear, then you won't need to bolster your confidence by deriding others.:biggrin:

Haha, nice try. Anyhow, I was being very tongue in cheek with my original post, so there's no need to get your knickers in a twist about it.
