While visiting Europe, I went into a lot of groceries to get a look around and noticed ramen wasn't particularly common like it is in the US. That made me start to wonder what college students tend to eat around Europe. Often times, college students in the US will live in a dorm with no oven or stove, so they'll just heat up some water (either with a kettle or microwave) and make some ramen, or eat a microwaved ready-to-eat meal from the freezer section at the grocery. Of course, there are also healthier options, like you can still bake a potato in a microwave or make some rice in a cheap rice cooker. Fruits and lots of veggies don't require any cooking as well. Overall though, ramen is thought of as "the thing broke college kids eat" because of how cheap and easy it is to make. So what are people doing around your country?
