8 Cafeteria Foods You Will Miss…NOT!

Many colleges and universities kindly provide their undergraduate population with food that even the poorest of countries would most likely refuse. The grade of the meat being served has and will remain a question mark. More often than not, the “meat” looks more like a steaming pile of wet dog food than the insides of a Sloppy Joe.

Because we love you, and don’t mind seriously grossing you out, we have compiled some pictures of the most disgusting, revolting and vomit-inducing cafeteria foods:

This mystery meat looks pretty questionable–there is no way that brown lump in the middle is made from the same “food” as it’s surroundings. And what exactly is happening in the upper left hand corner? Are those peaches dipped in sand, or has that old fried chicken started growing alternate life forms?

Oh god. What exactly is that pasta swimming in? Actually, swimming is not the right word since that tray appears to contain one solid entity. Of puke. Or play dough with noodles pushed into it. But if that is, in fact, marinara sauce, where do you think they found pink tomatoes??

We’re told this is fish, but we are not buying it. Maybe month old lasagna? Perhaps slimy cheese covered in paprika floating in a pool of rancid milk?
What we do know is we want to stay far away from the intestine-like-ribbon that lines this tasty delight.

Pretty sure this is a glazed doughnut, cut in half and stuffed with a bacon cheese burger. But a close inspection of those patties tells us that they are definitely not made from beef. Or turkey. Or any other identifiable meat. And we wonder why America is obese…

The only reasonable explanation for this disaster is that the owner of this plate was so grossed out by that chunky white junk, that he barfed up that bean mess on the side there. It’s definitely a problem when your meal looks the same going down as it would coming back up.

We can’t tell if that’s tuna, cauliflower or cement that’s in the process of being mixed. We also find the color of that milk very alarming.

This is open for debate. If it’s macaroni and cheese, then what in the world is the matter with those noodles? If it’s not macaroni and cheese…then what the hell is it?! Either way, we’re not eating it!

What a lovely combination of all the grossest aspects of the food featured above, in one compact patty. It looks like even the plate is trying to get away from this gem.

It’s no secret that colleges intentionally pump their students’ food with magical pooping pills, and when the meals look like this, we are not at all surprised. But between the “food” and the laxatives, we can’t help but wonder what havoc they are reeking on the bowel systems of their student population.

Don’t forget, boys and girls. This post was brought to you by your local dining hall. Bon Apetite!
