Meal #34: Dinner

Steak pasty, Oriel College dinning hall, Oxford, UK

This was an example of a not so good pasty, but that’s college food for you.  The carrots were okay tasting, after I got over my phobia of disc shaped carrots, which I’ve always had bad luck with.  The inside of the pasty was dry and paste-like.  Note the packets of mint sauce on my tray, those are for the salad.  I learned that the mint sauce was the best option for a salad dressing.  They always had mint sauce available for us, but we’re never given any lamb to put it on.  The peach crumble was okay, not great.

Meal #2: Lunch

A small shop down by the post office, Oxford, UK

Chicken and mushroom pasty, with 500 mils of Dr. Pepper.  More of a snack than a real lunch, but I was on the go.  The pastry was flaky and well seasoned, lots of herbs in the sauce.  The Dr. Pepper was cold and refreshing.
