As many of you know, First-Year students are required to have a SMU meal plan for both semesters. Personally, I do not like Umphrey-Lee as my main source of food. Though it offers many options like pizza, salad, pasta, and hamburgers, time and time again, I can’t find something to put on my plate. I feel like I would have more luck with a bow ‘n arrow in the woods.
When it comes to the food itself, it boils down to its quality. Using lots of butter and Salt are used to bland the taste of food. If you’ve had the mashed potatoes you know what I am talking about. The “home line” is usually the victim of poor quality food and bad cooking techniques. From frying everything, to making something and then throwing an Italian or Asian name on it though the dish has no origin to that country.
So how has Umphrey-Lee affected my eating habits?
Number one, I just don’t eat there as much anymore, unless I am satisfied with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Number two, forcing me to spend twice as much money whether it is Hughes-Trigg or off-campus. In other words Umphrey-Lee is charging me for meals there, and I am paying to eat off-campus to get a good meal. Does anyone else have this issue?
