Dining Delights: Spicy Burgers, Chili Fries, and Ice Cream Sandwiches
In this series, we showcase creative and delicious recipes that can be made using only food found in dining halls.
Dining hall food doesn’t have to be boring. If you're getting tired of HUDS's repetition, there are many creative ways to mix different ingredients together to make more exciting meals.

This particular dish was made only with ingredients from the grille and the sandwich bar, two resources that are always available during lunch and dinner.
Food Mashup: Annenberg Edition
Having been here for almost a month now, the novelty of getting to eat hamburgers and spaghetti all the time has officially faded. Even ice cream just isn’t so special anymore. (Disclaimer: It’s probably due to the fact that I’ve had ice cream basically every day here; freshman fifteen here I come!)
Drawing inspiration from BuzzFeed, I decided to whip up my very own food mashup. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you make your own weird concoction: make some effort to figure out what foods wouldn’t taste terrible together (kind of like when you’re deciding what flavors to pick for a Vermonster at Ben & Jerry's) and gather the courage to weather weird looks from fellow diners.
The day I went to Annenberg looking for inspiration, the dining staff had beaten me to the punch: one of the main platters was breaded chicken breast stuffed with a broccoli mix. This made my food mashup for the day pretty simple. I took some bread, spread mayonnaise on it, and stuffed the chicken inside—voilà, strange mashup sandwich!
