Most of the food sold in the cafeteria would either be illegal to sell in a Canadian school or be found disgusting by any non Mexican. As a main course you can have a torta, a sandwich where the bun is soaked in the grease from the cooked meat before it is made, some chicken nuggets made of who knows what part of a chicken, a plate of nachos covered in delicious month old cheez-wizz, quesadillas that might actually be good except that they stick a slice of slimey ham in each one or a hamburger. The hamburger is made with not a meat patty but with a lovely slice of Mexico's trademarked slimey ham. You could attribute this to them hearing the American (I know its's German but they think it's American) word HAMburger and putting the ham in but the word for ham in Spanish is "jamon." I am still trying to understand this. There is one other thing they consider a meal, the one thing I haven't been able to bring myself to try, a bag of Doritos cut open down the side, cruched to dust with cheez-wizz, corn kernals, lime juice, cream and of course a whole lot of chili of varying types. For a drink you can have Tonicol (a cola a lot like coke), iced tea, jamaica or horchata. The latter two are uniquely Mexican concoctions of ground up bits of various plants mixed with water, I guess iced tea is too. In the desert section (a lot of people treat this as main course section) you can have donuts, slices of cake, slices of pie and conchas. Conchas are just a bread bun with some weird dry icing on top. There is also a impulse candy buy section by the cash register where they try to get you for some halls or gum. I still don't understand why people don't bring their own lunch.
