"The first meal we cooked ourselves" 2015/10/5
When you live in UK, you may need to cook yourself since the price of restaurant here is quite expensive! But you can find many fresh ingredients in market hall, Tesco, or M&S.
This is our first meal we cooked, olive oil pasta with fresh lettuce and tomato. If you live in college accommodation, you may share the public kitchen with your flatmates.
Most British people can cook and enjoy baking. Vegetables, pasta and sauce would be lower than one pound in market or "poundland", which is a shop that everything is only one pound.
這是來英國第一次正式做的第一餐,橄欖油清炒義大利麵,用橄欖油、萵苣、番茄、全麥義大利麵以及綜合義大利香料,在 Tesco都可以買的到。由於在餐廳吃飯至少要4~8 pound(一般料理),跟自己煮比起來相當昂貴,因此英國人大部分也都會自己在家裡煮飯,並且也算是他們一個樂趣。學院的宿舍都有廚房,但也可以選擇包餐的住宿,或者去學院餐廳購買餐卷。
在Durham,大部分的食材算便宜,尤其是義大利麵、蔬菜類,大部分都不用1pound,牛奶、起司類,1 pound就可以買到2littre左右,因此自己煮飯可以省下相當可觀的生活費。若是不想到城裡去購物,也可以選擇學院的商店,也有販賣部分的食材與調味料。
