Time to share those weird unthinkable meals and recipies you invented or came across as a student. Some are weird, some are horrific and some are actually quite nice, but all are pure brilliance. So lets get those wok's, pans and grills out and share with the world what student food really is.

Not as a student, but as a single young male back 15 years ago living on his own I concocted Guiness and Cornflakes (couldnt stomach it now mind). Ironically now I have lived on my own again for some years I have found myself slated by females for eating Fish, Chips (homemade chips/wedges) and egg?? What's wrong with fish, chips and egg???

Right my first post is to rid the world of a common misconception of students. This misconception is that, some of us are actually quite good cooks, and that we don't live on pot noodles (atleast, not all the time ). That we can actually make up a meal as we go along, and it will turn out pretty damn good.

I think the best example i have of that, is a meal i made a few weeks ago. I wandered into my kitchen as usual with the intention of making chicken fajitas, only to realise that i didn't have any chicken. The only meat i actually did have was pork mince. Now i had never actually used pork mince before in a meal, because i didn't even realise it was pork mince when i bought it, as i mistook it for beef mince that i normally use to make chili con carnie. So i had a wee think and this is what happened.


For this meal you will need;

1 diced onion
1 diced pepper
1 portion of mince pork
2-3 tablespoons of honey
1 jar of fajita sause (if you can make the sause from scratch thats fantastic, but unfortunatly i lack that skill)
1 portion of rice
An asortment of herbs and spices

Basically i fried the onion, added in the pork mince to fry, then stirred in several tablespoons of honey. Add your fajita sauce and pepper, then put in spices and herbs to suit your own taste (i'd tell you what i put in, but the only think i can definetly remember putting in was black pepper). The honeyed pork takes away quite a bit of the heat from the fajita sause and gives it a much sweeter taste so remember to take that into account when spicing the meal. Leave to simmer for 15 mins and serve with rice.

I think this is probably the first meal i've invented, and to be honest it isn't far from the chicken fajita recipy. But i was proud of it anyway, and would happily make it again. If anyone has any suggestions or alterations please let me know. I love trying new things.



I had Blue VK and cornflakes the other night, was actually quite nice. but far to sweet for a proper brekky. I'll have to try the guiness variation.

Toast + golden syrup = win

That is all

I do the same but with honey

One of my flatmates has toast and golden syrup loli hate syrup lol
but best pudding ive had consisted of chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate.

Add 3 scoops choc ice cream, a flake, chocolate buttons with chocolate drop and then layer with half a tub of chocolate sauce

Warning: not for the faint hearted

That sounds like the ice cream factory at Pizza Hut

Got this in an email

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour (self raising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and
vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to
cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night

yum that sounds lyk my kinda cake

turkey recipe for students doing the Chistmas Dinner


Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing -- imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for students, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.

8 - 15 lb. turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is Good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn ( ORVILLE REDENBACHER 'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter salt, and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.
Listen for the popping sounds. When the turkey's ass blows the oven door across the room, it's done.

The psghetti sandwich

take two slices of bread and layer with butter
cook some dried spaghetti
drain spaghetti
place spaghetti on one slice of bread and place the other slice on top
cut in half if you choose weird but yimmy!

I was a student

Wash two eggs and put them in a full kettle.

Two pieces of bread in the toaster/or under the grill.

If you get your timing right ? Then you'll have your eggs, toast and enough water to make a cuppa.

( In my case there was enough hot water left over to have a shave.)

Just like the supernoodle sandwiches people have been having for years

I actually reli hate super noodle sandwiches lol munchin on typical student food... crisps n choccy haha all i need now is the alcohol

Oxo Cube rice recipe:

1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water

Add rice to water, boil then add oxo cubes. If I have one cup of rice I usually add two oxo cubes. Chicken oxo cubes are the best for this. They taste like chicken super noodles. Let it soak in and cook like normal rice
