Super Food: Bananas Taste Testing
Let's start with the sandwich. It was served on what looked to be white bread. I've been told that all the white bread served is really whole grain bread. There is no way to tell unless we get to see the packaging. I specifically asked if there was a whole wheat choice and was told no. The meat was highly processed "turkey". And the cheese tasted like American cheese.
Today’s American cheese is generally no longer made from a blend of all-natural cheeses, but instead is manufactured from a set of ingredients[1] such as milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, and salt. When substitutes are used it does not meet the legal definition of cheese in many jurisdictions, and must be labeled as "cheese product" or similar. -- WikipediaEverything else on the tray was as expected. Except for the bite of banana. Today was "Super Food Taste Testing” Day. And banana was the taste test. It wasn’t an exotic banana or a plantain; just a plain old banana. Something the kids get often and are familiar with.
Remember that kid I mentioned earlier this week that doesn’t eat his lunch? Well, today I watched him eat the white bread from the sandwich and after much discussion he decided to eat the banana.
No school on Monday, so I won’t be posting again until Tuesday. Today, I leave you with a parting snap shot of the end lunch. Have a great weekend.
