The memory of lunch time at school
When you were little, you surely remember that the world was divided into two types of people: those who stayed to eat in the school cafeteria and those who did not. Now, in adult life, the world has been divided into two well-defined groups: those who know the famous menu of the University of Almería (UAL) and those who do not.
The menu that has conquered social networks
The UAL lunch menu, which costs just six euros, has caused a sensation on social networks. With options such as potatoes with garlic and chicken or Cuban rice for first, and baked chicken or croquettes for second, along with custard for dessert, this menu has become a viral phenomenon on digital platforms.
Unexpected popularity
Although the dishes offered in the UAL dining room seem to be common, they have managed to capture the attention of thousands of users, including university students, local residents and a multitude of people who have been captivated by the offering of the kitchen team of the UAL. UAL, known as ‘Conchi’.
The UAL dining room account on social networks, which daily announces the daily menu options, is eagerly awaited by its followers. Among them are students, local residents and a wide audience who have been fascinated by the culinary offering of the ‘Conchi’ team.
The language of the followers
In addition to their popularity, the UAL menus have given rise to their own language among their followers to refer to the dishes. The most prominent word is ’tillas’, a colloquial way of mentioning ‘custard’, the star dessert on daily menus. This gastronomic slang even extends to the way dishes are mentioned, using only the last syllables of the words.
The team behind the success
The kitchen team at the UAL dining room, known as ‘Conchi’, is made up of Magdalena, Delia and Carmen. This trio of cooks has been fundamental in the success and popularity of the UAL menus, even managing to create their own vocabulary among their followers.
