I delightfully chose the Turkey and gravy for lunch today! I really can't tell you how excited I am to see this. It actually looked like a real meal and not something from a fast food joint.
As for the kids, about half took a salad and half took the turkey. Some that I talked with said it was the first time they remembered this being offered. I do remember that our school had a taste test earlier in the year and I think this was one of the foods tested.
The turkey tasted good, but I'm not a fan of the gravy. I think I might have liked it served on the side rather than mixed with the turkey.
It was a completely different gravy on the potatoes. It was fine. I can't really remember what it tasted like.
With the roll, I put the turkey/gravy on top and made a few mini sandwiches. I saw one of the students doing it so I tried it. Certainly made the roll more palatable. The rolls taste good, they are just a bit dry.
Green beans: good.
Clementine: great!! I was looking forward to the Clementine. The other choice for fruit was not obviously fruit. It was clearly a dessert and had more crisp than fruit. You can see it on the right in the top picture. A teacher I sat with said it was pretty good.
Another short post. Friday's post will not go up until Saturday. It's been a busy week. I've been surprised how much time eating in the cafe and posting about it has added to my already busy schedule. But I'm happy to do it! Very happy to do it.
