I am a lot of things. An only child. A good student. A hard worker. Humble ?? (I am being sarcastic.) There are tons of adjectives to describe me, some nice ones and some mean ones. One word I never considered was “cultured”. Sure, I spent my summer in the United Kingdom but even then I did my fair share of eating at McDonald’s and Hard Rocks. Born and raised in southern California by a middle class Caucasian family doesn’t necessarily sound like someone who may know a whole lot about other parts of the world. On the contrary, I am happy to announce my new love for other cultures. Well, at least for their food, that is.
Here I am sitting in our cafeteria, the Alumni Dining Commons if you will. Can I just tell you how many different cultures I’ve experienced in the last 45 minutes? Let’s see. We will start with the best part of my meal, which was the sushi. Konnichiwa!! (Which means “hello” in Japanese) Those little rolls were delicious. Then I decided to move a little more to the west and try out our Italian cheese tortellini. Mmmm! Bellisimo! Next we simply need to talk about how thankful I am for Belgium and their scrumptious waffles. I also treated myself to a little side of nachos, complete with jalapenos. Mucho gusto! Even my choice of beverage was a little worldly. Icee’s are probably Icelandic, right?
I was essentially writing to inform anyone who may be under the impression that CBU only serves good food on Sundays. False! The truth is the food is pretty tasty on any day that ends in “y”. Tuesday and Wednesday are my favorite days as those are the official sushi days. Get there early if you want veggie rolls though. There is no sarcasm in this statement. Seriously, I will beat you there.
