Kitchens in Oxford Colleges

You must be really lazy if you actively WANT to eat in hall. Cooking nutritious meals for yourself is relatively cheap doesn't take a long time at all. The only reason most people do eat in hall is the lack of kitchen facilities provided by college, and the poor quality of the facilities that are provided, especially at postgrad level.

Social side of communal eating?

The way we ate in Cardiff was fabulous. Three of us stocked up in Lidl every 2 or 3 weeks, and just lived off that food, averaging a spend of about £10 a week each on food.

A typical meal would be pasta (25p), red pesto (55p), tinned mackerel (29p), chopped onion/spring onion/shallots (20p) and chopped peppers (30p). That's 53p each and delicious. Takes hardly any time, produces little washing up and is generally fabulous.

That's what you can do with proper kitchen facilities and a properly cheap supermarket. That's why I started this thread.

There is a lidl in Oxford if you can be arsed to walk ages.
