bangers and mash

That's right, no stay in England would be complete without the consumption of that much loved staple: bangers and mash. No worries! The vegetarianism is still intact! Bangers and mash is just THAT important that there's not just one vegetarian variation, but apparently up to ten.

To fully capture the enthusiasm of the staff and students on the illustrious day when we receive bangers and mash, the menu was actually written in capitol letters. A recreation of our weekly meals listing below:

Monday: Indian Curry (we eat this quite a lot actually), Mixed Vegetables (always potatoes-squash too if lucky), Cardamom Pudding (NOBODY LIKES THIS BECAUSE IT IS NASTY)

Tuesday: Carvery, Veggie Tart, Salads and Fruits (this always unfortunately turns out to be a blatant fallacy on the salad front), Assorted Puddings

Wednesday: BANGERS AND MASH

Bangers and Mash are apparently so exciting no side options are necessary to entice hungry college students. And, I must admit, I was rather a fan of the bangers. The mash, not so much. There was mustard mixed in it. I find the British mustard fascination a constant source of personal misery.

Poll Results: John Donne, Tony Blair, and Hugh Grant tie for most attractive Oxford Alumnus. You people never fail to surprise me.
