[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be two themes to this thread. 
1) What to feed 4 college boys who eat somewhat decent and healthy food
2) Hatred for hosting anybody...

I am only addressing #1

Here are the various meals I would prepare.  I try not to buy too much processed foods, but at the same time, I do semi-prep foods and freeze it.

Meal 1
- Chicken curry (curry base made ahead and frozen)
- Peas pilaf 
- Yogurt cucumber raita 
- Store bought rotis or paranthas
- Soaked mung bean salad (Kosambri) with shredded coconut, shredded cabbage and shredded carrots. Give a nice oil tempering (tadka) with curry leaves and some spices.

Meal 2
- Carrots and cucumber idlis with peanut-tomato sauce 
- Quinoa pilaf with loads of veggies and nuts,  with sweet and sour eggplant in tamarind sauce.

Meal 3
- Cooked ground meat
- Tortillas, guacamole, spanish rice, beans, jarred salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, and lots of sauteed veggies - onions, zucchini, green peppers, mushrooms

Meal 4
- Lasagna with lots of cooked meat and veggie, and a homemade sauce
- Salad

Meal 5
- Pork Penang curry
- Rice
- Mixed mushroom salad
- Tom Yum soup

Meal 6
- Chili
- Corn Bread
- Veggi salad
- Baked stuffed mushrooms

Meal 7
- Pulled pork
- Corn salad
- Buns

Your first 2 meals are absolutely diabolical and way too specific to certain tastes. No way I would serve that to 18/19 year old boys.

+1. I wouldn't use the word diabolical (that's hilarious) and the PP's list is great and very helpful for many other occasions. 
Maybe sub in something more generic like Turkey meatballs with vegetables, noodles/potato (like a swedish meatball night) and then for the second one perhaps the quinoa pilaf with chicken sausage/pepper/onion. So keeping that theme of a loaded pilaf with vegetables and some low fat meats.

There are some great ideas on here and I love the balance of keeping things mainstream and familiar, but also healthy and delicious and also copious![/quote]

the soaked mung bean salad took me out. I am a grown adult with a very varied palate and have traveled and eaten in many countries and I think mung beans are absolutely disgusting. And so do many many other people. The fact that this would be one of your first choices to feed teenage boys is…interesting.[/quote]
