The school that I live at provides us breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day in the school’s cafeteria. The workers are really nice and I love eating with the kids, but the food here is not very good. To save money I try to eat here as much as possible (although some days I just can’t do it). At first I really didn’t like the food, but eventually I’ve learned to like it more.
The cafeteria.
Breakfast: When we first came to China, we couldn’t handle the breakfast and instead bought our own at the store. But after a while of becoming more accustomed to the food, Whitney and I decided to try it again. Each day they give steamed buns, which you put some type of spicy veggie mixture in, and then either a boiled egg or a sponge cake. We discovered that if you put jam on the steamed buns—it’s actually really good (you can even get a little wild and put peanut butter on it for a PB&J)! And thus breakfast with Whitney became one of my favorite things.
Lunch and dinner: For lunch and dinner they serve about the same things—always rice and four different side dishes to choose from. I wish I could tell you what is on all of these plates, but the fact is most of the time I don’t know—it’s been pretty fun trying to guess what are noodles, meat, tofu, or vegetables. Also, the cafeteria has been known to serve chicken feet and dog—as shown in the picture below in the left corner.
And now I promise to NEVER complain about American food again.
