Cookie break @ Harcombe
Jan 18, 2021, 7:08 PM
|
|
Leaving the comfort of Johnstone to grab some warm cookies and chocolate milk. Now I have to go to the store and bake them myself. Maybe it’s the post college football season blues but I could go for cookie break right now.

there were a LOT of kids who would be seen with EIGHT or more glasses on their tray at once. I liked milk as much as the next guy, but that was too much lactose for me!

Yes! I may have been the guy with the Tupperware jug filling it with milk to take back to my room.

I had a high metabolism and and was always happy about "All You Can Eat" at Harcombe!
So no joke, I filled 4 glasses of milk with every round of my meal (the glasses were what used to be called water glasses in restaurants. probably 6 - 8oz).
Each "meal" usually entailed getting one full plate of the entrée, vegetables and bread along with 4 glasses of milk. Followed by a repeat of every thing I had the first trip. So that meant 8 glasses with the "Main Courses". Then I'd go back and just get a little of whatever was best on the line or to try one the entrees that I didn't get with the main courses, and 2-4 more glasses to go with that. So that would be 10-12 glasses of milk. Finally, I'd go to the dessert bar and get another 2-4 glasses of milk to go with that. After dropping off my tray I had to get a soft serve to walk out with. So at a minimum, I drank 12 to 16 glasses of milk with every meal (3 times a day, 5 days a week) and a soft serve every time it was available.
I came into Clemson in 1976 in great shape at 6' and about 165lbs. After all I ate I left at about 175-180lbs and a lot more muscle (and if you're wondering, I had a 32" waist).
I'm glad can't eat like that now, but I did enjoy it at the time.
When My Dad would get on my case about the cost of sending me to Clemson, I would tell him:
"You may not be getting a great return on the academic part, but you're making a killing off of the meal plan!
Back then you could only go into Harcombe at certain times for each meal but the cost was about about $1.75 a meal. So I ate all that food for $2.15, and I rarely missed a mealtime at Harcombe.

Tuesday: Breaded Veal Cutlet (Dreaded Veal Cutlet)

When I was at Clemson from 1970 to 1974, the food that looked the worst usually tasted the best to me. There was some gray colored rice pudding that I really liked. I also started liking chicken livers because they usually looked pretty bad at Harcombe.

I am from the early 70's and free food was always a pleasure. Only fast food place was Hardees across from Fike Field House. Seven day meal pass was the way to go if you did not go home every weekend. Cold pizza on a Sunday morning.

I still like strawberries with waffles after all these years.
I remember drinking maybe 4 cups of coffee at midnight breakfast, returning to the dorm & sitting back down with my econ book, and falling asleep after less than half a page.

Do you remember the horrible seafood cutlet? Somehow it would always show up a few days after they served the whiting fish.
Yuk!!!!!!!

Awesome post!!! So many memories came flooding back not the least of which was the discovery freshman year I could eat all the dessert I wanted. The likely culprit for the freshman 15 that found me!

I gained 40 lbs my first semester at Clemson. I attended cookie break every day. My only regret was never having the stones to rush the soft serve machines with the RAs guarding them. That would have been a cookie break to tell my grandkids about.

Nobody was guarding them when I was there. Some guys had perfected the foot tall cone by the time we hit sophomore year. (I'd just make multiple trips, myself. No need to appear greedy.)

I remember being in line for midnight breakfast at Schilletter maybe 1980 or 81 and someone threw a dummy (the non-breathing kind) off the roof (or out of a very high level window?) of one of the high rises. That provoked a lot of different emotions to say the least!
