Recession food, or how to cut thin slices.
Selling the same food, but cutting thinner slices is a nice way to make it seem as if nothing has changed, while saving money and poioning employees slightly less. Maybe there is something positive about this recession after all, if I can stay away from the vending machines.
I tried to bite off more than I can chew. I should have left the soup in the bowl and have been content with my wrap and fruit, but I felt hungry and loaded up instead. The wrap was unexpectedly good, and after stuffing my face with as much food as I possibly could, I left a little of the wrap. Not a bad accomplishment for a skinny guy.
Fantasy is foreign to my cafeteria. What is a poor blogger supposed to write about this food besides the heartless manner it is thrown together and the average taste. Keeping the gag reflex in check with large amounts of diet coke and thoughts of escape got me through this.
In my cafeteria Au Jus means cheap a$$ watered down sauce, brown, tasteless, fancy name.
When I saw the huge roast laid out nicely, I fell for it. I ordered and watched in amazement how skillful hands carved paper-thin slices of meat from a giant loaf. I couldn’t see through, and I didn’t cut myself on the roast, but my tastebuds kept sending only faint signals to my brain which had to compensate and fill the gaps with knowledge of past meals to create a flavor.
A Ying and Yang sandwich with healthy turkey und fatty bacon and cheese. I had them replace the macaroni salad with rice.
Strange flavour fusions are sometimes remarkably good. This chicken quesadilla with barbeque sauce is a perfect example. Who would have thought this would actually taste good, but it did. Sometimes my cafeteria guys surprise me.
With the faltering economy even the cafeteria people have to scale back. The main dishes looked rather boring today, so I made myself a salad and got a chicken soup to go with it. The broccoli in my salad was rather old and could have been cleaned a bit better. Now that I am not even halfway through my afternoon I wonder how long that stuff will last and will I get delirious with hunger later today?
