The dish to be prepared was my take on chop suey. ![]() Time was saved by this, but money was certainly not. I got back to my flat quickly, as I didn’t have to stop by the big fancy supermarket with its disorientingly bright lights. Bringing the grand total to $22.50, the lovely person behind the counter gave me some small fish soy sauce packets for free. I acquired the following: a pre-made sandwich, two vegan pies of different flavours, a vegan sausage roll, fried dried noodles, nuts for topping, and a bowl of instant noodles.

In order to challenge myself as much as possible, this dish was going to be vegetarian, so I couldn’t cut corners by just grabbing biersticks. You’re leaving Central after a long hard day of mediocre work, so why walk a whole block away to get fresh food when there’s a pseudo-dairy right there?

What do they expect students to do, munch through a whole bag while studying?

However, there are those items that really make you question what place they have in a campus shop. The ratio of sweets to fizz to pies is usually fantastic.
