How did you survive college times?

[BitchSlayer]

Bah, eggs are eggs... Besides, aren't you both missing the point? RAW EGGS ARE JUST GROSS!

[OniNeko]

raw ostrich eggs.

Not when served with good sukiyaki... mmmmm. I would be careful about it in the US, personally.

While I was away for college, I had quite a lot of pre-made Japanese curry and rice. One box is more than enough for dinner and has veggies and sometimes beef. Most of the time I lived at home though, meaning I had the benefit of good meals.

Basically Grilled cheese, chicken wings, and pizza.

We have a fantastic local wings place that's just so fucking good it's not even funny.

surprisingly enough I've actually lost 5 pounds since leaving for college, without any major changes in exercise (ie, still none :p)

Either Salmonella in raw eggs isn't a problem at all, or I'm just really, really lucky. I've been chugging at least 3 a morning for 3 years (well, not every morning, but almost), and not even once have I felt any negative effects.

I heard that if an egg does have Salmonella, it exists on the outside, on the shell, so as long as you don't drop your shell into the cup of raw egg, you're golden.

I have lost 10 pounds too, and this with a drastic reduction in exercise. I mostly eat pizza and chicken wings, some easy mac when I have dishes.

[shadowling]

easy mac, grilled cheese, and cambells soup at hand

[Rorschach]

I mostly eat at my girlfriend's house
Yes, I'm the most pathetic 27 year old you're likely to come across

[quote="undertow";p="423613"]Hmm, perhaps there they are, but it is not the case anywhere that I have visited. I have traveled all over the country and have yet to find one place where pasteurized eggs are the standard, mainstream product. If they are available at all, they have always been relegated to a small collection of specifically labeled and packaged "alternatives" alongside much larger racks of regular unpasteurized eggs. I would still like to see some statistics on this.[/quote]
Wait, you've travelled all over the country and paid specific attention to whether or not grocery stores in individual regions offered solely, or primarily, pasteurized eggs? I'm disinclined to consider this especially likely, and quite inclined to consider you entirely outside the bounds of sanity if it should happen to be the case.

In any case, peanut butter is good if you're dirt poor. Making homemade spaghetti sauce, a large batch, and then freezing it in serving-sized portions for convenient future reheating is very useful, and inexpensive if you make it entirely from basic ingredients. Canned tuna, or salmon if you prefer, is an excellent source of protein and minerals and such if you cannot find reasonably priced frozen or fresh meat. And rice. Rice will get you through the darkest times. Believe me.

--Curry and rice, the prepackaged kind.
--Miso soup and rice. Anything else and rice.
-- These prepackaged microwavable meals from Japan that are REALLY good.
-- Dorm food in a pinch (it's usally really really gross)
-- Bento boxes
-- Soup from the campus restaurants
-- Ramen, udon, other noodles.

And... not enough veggies. It makes me sad. -__-

My roommate lives off Easy Mac and ramen. One of my suitemates lives off ramen and lucky charms. I'm not quite sure how.

3 eh?
-Grilled cheese and tomato soup
-Easy Mac
-Burrito Supreme

[flamechocobo]

Am I the only one who's actually going to cook himself at least half of a meal in college?

[sneaky ninja]

I cook a lot of good meals, but when you only have 20 minutes to make dinner, you gotta go with something fast. For me it's usually Easy Mac, burritos, or crackers. The box says "Snack Crackers," but for me they're meal crackers

[peter-griffin]

Lo mein. Simple recipe, extremely cheap ingredients (what, 2 or 3 dollars to make several POUNDS of the stuff, with chicken, even!), very easy to make, store and reheat. I'm not in college, but this summer I lived alone and fed myself entirely on Lo mein, rice, green tea, and pork fried rice when I felt like making it. No pizza, no fast food - I just feasted on lo mein and rice every night. I actually lost 25 pounds, and gained it back when I started living with the family again. Tear.

[Deacon]

I demand this Lo Mein recipe.
