As I returned my Mensa card this afternoon after lunch, the gourmet inside me was reeling under a pungent sense of melancholy. I had just finished my last meal in the Flugplatz Mensa and it had dawned upon me that the next time I eat in a refectory, it would be the Hostel-4 mess in IIT Bombay.
I have tasted the entire gamut of animal flesh – from beef to turkey to fish and also feasted on a variety of vegetarian cuisines like spargel and südtiroler here. Although, I have never had a chance to visit the Rampartstraße Mensa adjoining the University’s main campus, I have heard rave reviews about the same in terms of both the quality and variety.
In stark contrast, to label the food in H-4 mess as pathetic would be a euphemism. It’s high time the IIT authorities wake up to the fact that along with good education, healthy food is also a vital component in the development of a student.
In spite of all this, students here often crib about the deplorable taste of the meals served in the Mensa. When will men start being happy with what they have? … I wonder!
