“Teria: an action quest 3D game for science fiction fans.”

It’s got 23 reviews, and the only ones that give it a thumbs-up do so because they say you can finish the game in 30 seconds, or 18, or 15.9.

So he’s right!

-teria

suffix

Hmm, most cafeteria’s I’ve ever been too always had people put the food on the plate/tray for you… so not really self serve.

Just because it’s Salisbury steak doesn’t mean it’s not “mystery meat.” I’ve had venison Salisbury steak. It was a surprise. It was also delicious!

The main problem is that cafeterias are usually added onto a school or company facility as an time efficient way for those who don’t bring their meals to eat. Since they usually don’t compete with nearby restaurants, the food really doesn’t need to be great. Add on to that that school cafeteria food needs to be cheap and have certain nutritional value and taste/presentation/quality goes out the window.

I couldn’t resist. I looked up “teria” on the Webster’s site. It shows the word as a suffix to other words with the definition of: “place having self-service.”

From the root word “terra” meaning Dirt.

i wonder sometimes if they pronounce that ‘’boo-kay’’

It’s not mystery meat. Good one Greg.
