7 Foods Every St Andrews Student Misses When They're Away
For such a tiny town, St Andrews has a surprisingly large amount of food options (#bless). I'll forever complain about the lack of good Mexican food (although Mammacita opening up soon where Grill House used to be may change that -- probably not, but I'm hopeful).
However, for all my complaining, I've never gone hungry in St Andrews -- that's a fact. Here's the top 12 foods I'm always craving when I'm outside the Bubble:
1. Cheesy chips, Dervish
But the simple existence of the Humans of Dervish page shows our town's devotion to this great institution of Turkish food (I jest... I think). Personally, even the worst nights where you face plant into a puddle of warm blue Pablo on the floor of 601 can be rectified with some warm cheesy chips in bed (laying my most embarrassing moments bare for you guys...).
Whether you like them with just cheese like me, or with all the toppings of garlic sauce, cheese, salt, and ketchup (you know who you are), you can never go wrong with Dervish. Fact.
2. Americano panini, Rocca Deli
Personally, I'm a die hard Americano fan because I'm a huge fan of pickles, but as far as I'm concerned, any panini at Rocca is a good panini. At the price point of £4.50, it's pretty standard for St A -- and extremely filling.
3. Prince of Cambridge scone, Gorgeous
4. Earl Grey tea ice cream, Jannetta's
Plus, if you order a sundae they give you one of those little umbrellas, and, well... Excuse my inner ten year old 'cause she's clapping with joy inside.
5. Fudge doughnut, Fisher & Donaldson
But seriously, we all deserve to #indulge once in a while, and this is absolutely the correct way to do it. That, and maybe a bottle of champagne down by Castle Sands to go with your doughnut... But let's not tell Fife Police about that.
6. Student carry out deal, Jahangir
They will give you your chicken tikka marsala, rice, AND naan for the lowest price in town... Plus, they even gave us Christmas discount cards which is AH-MAZING. But s/o to Maisha too, because those guys are awesome and I'm a big fan of the vibe.
7. Margherita pizza, Courtyard Cafe
'Cause, in my opinion, you're not supposed to eat drunk food sober. You're not supposed to want to. I've never craved Dervish before midnight once. But sometimes, digging into a 12-inch pizza > cheesy chips. It just is.
Roll on, Refreshers Week. My stomach is ready.
