...homes before they were plundered by the Germans. Strolling through the gallery is like entering the drawing room of a wealthy merchant in prewar Vienna, with paintings of dreamy, Italianate landscapes and still lifes of tables piled with feathered game and fruit.

For example, white pasta has emerged as a regular staple in at least one of the three entrée offerings at lunch and dinner. HUDS has admitted to using white pasta to spread out leftover ingredients, or, as HUDS spokeswoman Crista Martin put it in a recent Crimson article, “not leftover foods, but their components.” White pasta has minimal nutritional value. It sits...
