Mexican dishes pilot in Philadelphia schools improve lunch menus
Olney High School students taste six authentic Mexican dishes prepared for a USDA trial to replace gravy coated Salisbury steak. Chef Arnulfo Luengas created turkey enchiladas and other dishes while officials assess fat sodium and cholesterol goals and plan national recipe standardization.
Government taste test aims to improve school lunches
The test involved Olney High School students as part of federal efforts to raise lunch quality and variety. About 25 million U S students are served meals daily across the nation. The U S Department of Agriculture oversees menu item selection. After tasting, students rate dishes and comment. Meals were prepared by Arnulfo Luengas, executive chef for Mexico’s national bank. Proposals call for lower fat sodium and cholesterol with more fruits vegetables and grains. David Suro, a Philadelphia restaurant owner, helped arrange the taste test. Healthy eating may boost academic and athletic performance. Some students’ hesitancy to try new items reflected uncertainty about change.
