I miss being a student. I miss my skint meals. My favourites were microwaved veggie burgers with microwave rice and BBQ sauce and tinned tomatoes with herbs and rice. I also bought microwave cheesy chips once and I swear I could feel it clogging my arteries.

The yoghurt represents your homosexuality, eating it with the fork reflects your attempts and struggle to contain it in the closet/your mouth, however it inevitably slips out.

Sounds expensive for student food. Also veggie burgers :mad:
 
Sounds very expensive for student food <yikes>

Earlier I was snacking on 50p Sainsburys Basics torilla chips dipped in tomato puree

I get what you are saying. What little appreciation I have seems to be for landscapes. I like that Aivazofsky picture you posted earlier for example.

Really don't get modern art at all though.

Good to know that i'm not alone in disliking Picasso as well. Maybe there is hope for me after all! ;)

Edit: forgot to say that Market Day is good too. I can see the quality of picture, it looks almost lifelike.

<ok> One thing I like about that painting is the depth. The gutter line, offset from the centre subconsciously draws your eyes through, leading to the furthest point in the image. The overarching beams and buildings leading up to the archway keep the closeknit feeling of where the painter is sat too.
This sort of painting evaluation is pretty obvious when you look at the painting and see it for yourself, no bollocks whatsoever. A lot of modern art is devoid of this though, you're absolutely right. There is no way I could have anything to say about something like Red Yellow and Blue:

Tomato puree!! Luxury. I had to dip mine in washing up liquid.

And Calaye, I'm a vegetarian! Veggie burgers £2, microwave rice 80p for a bag the size of a small cat and BBQ was about 50p a bottle and lasted me months. As for my tinned tomatoes, they were about 16p with the rest of my 80p rice and some herbs that I stole from home at Christmas.
 
Was in a branch of Iceland last week and picked up a Sweet and Sour Chicken with Rice for £1 and it was really good. Nice tender pieces of chicken and the sauce was really good too. Was very surprised how good it was and what value for money too.

I would've thought that the lips and arseholes of chickens would be quite chewy.

Exactly. Market Day potrays a realistic impression of a scene and a time and you can imagine being there. At the same time you can appreciate the amount of skill, both with a brush and through observation it takes to paint something like that.

Red yellow and blue is just three colours painted on a canvas in differing quantities and following straight lines. Zero skill to achieve, no real aesthetic beauty and it is seriously ****ing pretentious to suggest that there is any significant insight or depth in the concept. It is just pretentious crap. For me that sort of art gives art and artists a bad name.

I'm gonna shop at Iceland from now on
 
Indisputably the greatest painting ever done. It is not subjective, it is fact.

Recently made some sweet and sour chicken myself.

500g Rice (17.5p)
1 Large Chicken Breast / 2 Chicken Breasts (~70p, buy 1kg bags of frozen chicken breasts)
2 Jars of Sweet and Sour Sauce (50p)
500g Frozen Cauliflower/Broccoli/Carrots (50p)

Made a good 6 portions, froze most of them. Works out at roughly 31p per meal.

Good stuff :)

For somebody who said I had nothing to contribute I seem to have said quite alot. Did you notice? <laugh>

I absolutely did! This is why I found it hard to believe you were totally lacking in artistic taste or opinion, you do have taste and understanding - don't let the weird pseudos fool you.
