University canteens in Germany: meeting place, tradition and a taste test - Mensa in Deutschland: Treffpunkt, Tradition und Geschmackstest

from SBS German - SBS Deutsch

University canteens in Germany are more than just a cheap place to eat. They remain a central hub to students. In Australia, these state-supported canteens are largely absent. Curious about this contrast, our Germany correspondent Kaspar Visser spoke with two students behind the Instagram account Nudelteller:innen, where they rate and review the quality of Mensa meals. - Die Mensa bietet nicht nur eine günstige Möglichkeit, satt zu werden, sondern ist nach wie vor wichtiger Treffpunkt für Studierende. In Australien kennt man diese staatlich geförderten Uni-Kantinen so nicht. Das hat unseren Deutschland-Korrepsondenten Kaspar Visser dazu angespornt, sich genauer zu informieren. Er hat zwei Studentinnen getroffen, die auf Instagram mit ihrem Account Nudelteller:innen die Qualität des Mensa-Essens bewerten.
