willtherebestars Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 This does not form a binding contract, of course...
ridgey Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I voted vegetarian, though I'm not one. But "vegetarian" describes more food that I like to eat than any of the other categories. Plus, I anticipate being too poor to afford meat.
gadhelyn Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I put cereal since the choice of "whatever I happen to cook" isn't up there. Men with whisks unite!
indy4ever Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 My undergraduate degree consisted of eight subways a week, plus pizza. One day I failed to turn up at my local Subway at the usual hour, and the guys behind the counter asked my friend: 'Hey, where is your friend? The one who likes all the meat?' They looked scared that their cash cow might have run out. They had a certificate on the wall saying they sold more sandwiches than anywhere else in the South-West. I think about fifteen percent of that was me. I didn't realise until I read this thread that if I fail to get into grad school it may be a blessing in disguise, both for myself and people around me. When I have a lot of work, my junk food habit reaches murderous proportions (I'm not kidding - if I have an essay due the next day, I'll kill you for pizza without a second thought).
frankdux Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 ^^^ that's awesome. there have been a few local food places in the past where they knew me as well. anyways, as for me, i'll be eating Fruity Pebbles, Fruit Loops, L'eggo Waffles, milk and OJ more than anything else. i love breakfast food.
willtherebestars Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Breakfast food is by far one of my biggest weaknesses... especially because where I live, the only places that are open 24 hours are breakfast-serving establishments. Speaking of breakfast...
timuralp Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 As long as any of you are planning to partake in the free food, pizza will be the #1 choice
mlle Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 These categories are not mutually exclusive. I'm pretty much vegetarian but I eat more noodles and oatmeal than anything else (though I guess technically, ramen isn't vegetarian...). Also, I didn't see coffee up there. :wink: I probably consume more coffee drinks than I do "actual food"....
IvyHope Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 coffee is the graduate student's oxygen. and, you'll be eating more pizza than you can stomach.
Dreams Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I will be cooking my own food, which doesn't fall into any of these categories
jesso21 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Coming from quite a small town and (hopefully) going to a much larger city, I dream of partaking in Indian food quite frequently once I start grad school. I love Chicken Tikka Masala! I do anticipate being quite poor, so I'll have to limit myself somewhat. Also, is it a crazy dream to think of losing weight in grad school??
Tonights Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 My partner will be working, so hopefully we won't be as broke as we would if it was just two students. I anticipate a lot of crock pot meals. I'm hoping that wherever we go, there'll be a Thai restaurant there. I've become really, really accustomed to (and spoiled by) the awesome Thai restaurants in our current city. *drools over larb *
socialpsych Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Is the "vegetarian" category supposed to be mutually exclusive of all the others? Because...last I checked most cereal is vegetarian... :?
dherres Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Is the "vegetarian" category supposed to be mutually exclusive of all the others? Because...last I checked most cereal is vegetarian... :? Key word here being "most." As a vegetarian for 8+ years, I've found a surprisingly large number of non-veggie-friendly cereals, mostly those with frosting: Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini-Wheats, but also Lucky Charms and frosted Pop Tarts, and several others. Also, the majority of commercial yogurt isn't veggie either (but organic is, as is Kroger-brand). This is assuming that you're like me and include gelatin in the "forbidden" category.

Frosted Mini Wheats have been a staple for me throughout college! :cry:

That is generally a vegan rule rather than a vegetarian rule, afaik. I know people set their own wide variety of dietary rules, but all the vegetarians I know eat gelatin and avoid only flesh, it's the vegans who eschew Jell-O. I'm curious - do you also avoid refined cane sugar and cheese?
ridgey Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I've just been reminded that my junk food consumption will be limited once I start grad school. It seems the typical north-american cookie aisle lacks tim-tams and good chocolate cookies in general. I might have to *gasp* eat more healthily!

If you're near a Wegmans, which are the flat-out best grocery retailer this side of the Atlantic, they have imported cookies aplenty. Plus, depending on where you are, the caloric delights may be myriad - I'm a little scared if I get accepted to a Pennsylvania school, land of cheesesteaks and funnel cakes. And oh god, has anyone else every been to Berkey Creamery on Penn State's main campus? HERE COMES THE BUYING OF THE BIGGER PANTS.
coho Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 what do they do to refined cane sugar to make it non-vegetarian? I've never heard of this
Tonights Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 what do they do to refined cane sugar to make it non-vegetarian? I've never heard of this It isn't really nonvegetarian, it's nonvegan. It's filtered through activated charcoal which sometimes is sourced from bone char - animal bones. There's no way to tell whether bone char has been used or not.
ohheygradschool Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 This is sort of a weird poll. I think we are now officially fetishizing grad school life. I guess it's just that time of year...
holomorph Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 It's been Chipotle three to five times a week so far for my first year of grad school.
ridgey Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 This is sort of a weird poll. I think we are now officially fetishizing grad school life. I guess it's just that time of year... Yip, by far THE weirdest poll I've ever seen :wink:
willtherebestars Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 Haha, sorry... I just think about food a lot. Coffee was an excellent suggestion. And you should be able to choose up to two items...!
