If One is What He or She Eats, Then I’m Interesting, Delicious, and Affordable
Being a student who spends a lot of time on campus makes it hard sometimes to pack a lunch. Even if one does bring a lunch it’s difficult for a lot of students to store leftovers from the night before. At times I can be stuck wandering around hungry, wondering what I can eat. However, it’s not like I can go to Louis’ everyday and get a 14 ounce steak. We have the unfortunate reality of paying thousands of dollars in tuition, which doesn’t leave a lot in bank accounts. So, there we are, left hungry and not wanting to spend a lot of money.
In the past I had no idea as to where I could turn for a good cheap lunch. There are options on campus, but I always found that they were lacking, either in taste or value. That was until a friend took me across frosty Campus Drive in front of Place Riel to Choices on Campus, the St. Thomas More cafeteria.
I can’t really explain it, but I think that if soup were a person, I’d marry him or her. Soup is my soul mate and anyone who comes into my life will be striving for, at best, second place in my heart. A good soup just speaks to me
Anyways, the soups at Choices were an absolute revelation for me. There are three choices everyday, one of which is always a vegan soup. They are all homemade, often quite interesting (I had vegan ginger squash today), and delicious. The best part of it is that if you bring your own container for the soup (a washed large yogurt container works great) it only costs $3.25 with a freshly baked cheddar biscuit. The biscuits are also mind-blowing.
So, friends, I heartily recommend that you join me at 11:15 for biscuits straight out of the oven and some off the hook soup. Make sure you get there before classes get out because it gets really packed. It’s a brilliant way to spend your lunch.
Choices soup and a biscuit: 7 thumbs up
