"Every one to his taste, as the woman said when she kissed her cow." --François Rabelais, Pantagruel
When the Enchanted Broccoli Forest came into being, it was a vegetarian
house, like its co-op comrades Columbae
and Synergy.
Now meat is sometimes served, but the emphasis is still on vegetarian
food. For the past 5 years or so,
residents have generally been about 50% vegetarian and 50% meat-eating.
Every meal with meat is required to have a substantial vegetarian option.
Vegan food is generally available, but there is not always a vegan option
at every dinner: resources for vegans are not as good as at the
vegetarian houses. Conversely, folks who require huge honkin' hunks of
beef at every meal are probably better off eating elsewhere.
Most
people who like any food as long as it's delicious and satisfying find
EBF food to be some of the best on campus (according to a recent Gallup
poll: see Figure 4.20).
It is the Webmistress' dream to put up some of our favorite dinner recipes on the Web so that people in later years can try them. We'll see if that ever really happens (send in a recipe you like!) Fortunately, we do currently have a list of house recipes for another nutritious EBF staple, beer (courtesy of our very own Sebastian).
If you are interested in living or just eating at EBF, come have dinner with us! You'll want to come just before 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, to get a good place in line for food. You may also want to bring your own plate and cup (Why? See EBFAQ).
