All,
As some know, I am positioned in the vocational school arena
and am planning to menu items for the upcoming Jewish holiday in our culinary arts shop. I have to admit I am not "schooled" as much in this cuisine as I should be.
I would enjoy any of your suggestions that would both educate our teachers and students, such as "FYI's" and "Hey did you know...". Yes, I will probably get on the web and explore, but I am intrested in the most popular entrees, starches, vegetable dishes that you have tried and are winners. We usually run 2 entrees, an action station, special plated "dinner" salad, a Deli sandwich, and 1-2 soups.
Some of my goals are to recognize ALL faiths, religious and ethnic traditions as much as possible, teaching students respect to all people (which I hope some day they will get it). I love my students and wish to expose them to as much as possible before the are set loose in the big world! Thanks so much for you help,
schoolchef
