I don't stay long in the canteen when I eat. I usually go there with just the purpose of eating. Since I get to do that almost everyday, I still get to explore the different flavors that the world has to offer at a shorter period of stay. Our canteen offers a diverse selection of dishes. Some are as inexpensive as the dishes in carinderias.
I ended up buying our home meals here for a number of reasons:
1. During the weekdays, I don't have much time to cook

It's like taking A and Snuz to the restaurant everyday =)

I have no idea what the pack says. Well, if you can't read it, eat it! How else would I know what it contains? Of course, there's that risk of not liking the taste or have some form of intestinal problems later in the day. And since my desk if the official depository of munchies, people tend to ask me what they are before they try one for themselves. So that sort of makes me the unofficial taste tester.
Now I know how it feels to eat Bertie Bott's every flavour beans =P
