Maybe I’ve just become jaded to the shifty antics of the victual wonder that is Sodexo, since on our low budgets, it’s all we can afford to eat, but lately I can’t help but wonder about the fine cuisine we’ve been ingesting.

I’m speaking mostly of the CIW dining hall and the “lovely” little dinner entrees they offer. While on some nights, there is a quick twinge of excitement in the eyes of students when they see macaroni and cheese (Which was near liquid yesterday) or tortellini on the menu, it is often just as quickly replaced with complete disappointment and sometimes even borderline disgust. Take tonight for instance. My suite and I entered the dining hall, five o’clock on the dot, with high hopes for dinner. I had turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy. I actually had to get creative and cop some rye bread from the deli line. I made myself a nice little turkey and gravy sandwich with a gravy soaked piece of bread in the middle (The moist maker for all of you who get my “Friends” reference). However, my roommate wasn’t so lucky. She decided to be daring and try this mysterious looking “chicken” and noodle soup bowl concoction. It was a cold day, and the thought of soup warmed her soul just a bit. After just two bites, she had to stop. I decided to try it, to see what all the fuss was about, and boy, was I sorry…

I’ve included pictures of what looks like some chicken testicle thing floating in a bowl of uncooked noodles that tasted and smelled a bit like Fantastic! Maybe even Oxy Clean (Someone alert Billy Mayes).
