Foodsick

After almost three months of living in the campus here, I am thoroughly bored of the food from the food courts. It’s always the same old stuff with no significant changes to the base item. I’m so tired sick of the same old rice and chappati items that sandwiches from Cafe Coffee Day and subs from Subway are much more appealing, even though they are double of triple the cost of a standard meal. I used to get pizza from Dominos now and then but stopped because pizza in India is ridiculously overpriced for some reason.

One thing that never seems to get old are Subway’s salads and subs. I’ve developed a(n) (un)healthy fascination for the chicken teriyaki sub, mostly because the meat is dry, and I feel I could eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For variety there is also chicken seekh (whatever that is) and the more expensive lamb meats. (Here’s a tip: Ask for your meat to be finely chopped or you’ll end up with large slices of meat hanging out of your mouth when you take a bite.)

My backup food, when I’m feeling too lazy to leave my room and travel to one of the food courts, is Wai Wai noodles (the chicken version, obviously; vegetable is inedible) supplemented by biscuits and other processed stuff along with some bread (if the damn Mallus at the supermarket feel like stocking it). There’s also a bottle of ‘Chyawanprash’ that I’m trying to force myself to eat (with little success) and a few packs of Fox’s candies and mints.

If the situation continues, I will have to travel to the city to find some food but that’s such a bother. The bike parking area is about a kilometer away from my room.
