another horrific student storywhen I was at uni, I shared a flat with a 6ft6' French Canadian guy, who worked as a chef at a local restaurant.
You'd think that that'd make him quite good at cooking...but no, every night, he'd come back, get a Farmfoods Economy Burger out of the freezer, put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes, and then put it - oozing horrible grease and stinking - between two slices of cheap white bread, and wander back to his room, where he'd play Gran Tourismo all fucking night.
I can only imagine he was eating them...

it's not that unusual actually...it's not necessarily that he couldnt cook, it's probably more that he didnt want to.

I have friend who did something similarAnd, to be honest, he probably still does, 10-20 years later...
Only thing is, he was (still is?) a veggie, so he'd make Veggie-grill sandwiches
Note the name Veggie-GRILL...they're like burgers made of mashed up vegetables, that you're supposed to put under the grill to cook...
But did my friend? No, he did not.
He'd get them straight out of the freezer, put them between two slices of sliced white bread and microwave them until they melted into the bread, resulting in warm and gooey green bread.
Which he would then eat with ketchup and mustard...
This is the same guy who told me pot noodles were great when we were 17, and I was foolish enough to believe him...
