I don't blame the staff of the dining hall in the slightest. At the beginning of the year, the food was pretty decent. Repetitive but decent. After winter semester though... UBC or whomever, cut the dining hall's budget, and we got this. Goop and slop on a plate. I've seen raw chicken and raw pork, rotten veggies, and food still being frozen on the inside. Salad options are kinda limited and as someone with a bunch of sensitive, Pritchard serving fried foods 6 days out of the week was not appreciated.
Food highlights: garlic bread, all of the wraps in order of best to worse (chicken bacon ranch, Caesar salad, hot honey, donair). Donair one is fine but gets boring very quickly and kinda flavourless. Least I can eat it. The fresh juice that they brought in sometimes was really tasty. Eggs are pretty good (the fresh ones, not the powdered ones). Ramen is pretty good but got boring. Sushi bowl started strong but idk, quality started to dip in second semester.
Food shames: Southwest salad (is it a salad or a chilli, cmon bro), pizza with pineapple (doesn't taste good), butter chicken poutine?? (It's one or the other, didn't taste good combined, wasn't even actual gravy). The powdered eggs? How are they raw and overcooked at the same time. The tostada (was gross). Breakfast bowl is also slop.
Again, don't blame the dining hall staff, they had nothing to do with the food quality and are trying their best to make do on a tight budget. Their employer unfortunately fired a bunch of the people in charge and in charge of food quality so... it's to be expected.
Also make breakfast longer, nobody wants a pizza at 10:30am. read more
