Recently, Hangzhou Chunhui Primary School is preparing to change the canteen dishes in the new semester, so it launched a poll to let students choose their favorite food dishes, and the school will update the corresponding number of dishes in the way of last place elimination. The dishes that participated in the voting included 40 kinds of meat dishes, 30 kinds of half meat and half vegetarian dishes, 25 kinds of vegetarian dishes, 24 kinds of soups, 17 kinds of fruits, and 22 kinds of dim sum.
In the past two days, the statistical results came out, but the teachers felt a little surprised: "high-end ingredients" such as garlic fried yellow eel, special turtle soup, lobster seafood soup and so on actually ranked last, but home-cooked dishes such as braised pork ribs, meat slice cauliflower, and vermicelli baby dishes won the highest votes.
Most of the dishes that participated in the voting were eaten by the children last semester. The most popular is the braised pork chop, in the questionnaire survey of 240 people, 239 people voted for it, can be called "group pet", what is the magic of the school's braised chop? Teacher Wang smiled and said that the chef of our canteen is more careful, and will fry it before braising, so that the edges of the large row are more crispy and the meat is smoother and tenderer.
The last place in the meat dish was garlic fried yellow eel, which received 161 votes, with a support rate of 67.08%. The votes for vegetarian dishes were relatively even, and the highest ticket winner was a fan doll dish, which got 239 votes. The lowest-ticket contestant was Artemisia annua, which received 195 votes. In the PK of the fruit category, cherry, sand sugar orange, sunshine rose grape, etc. ranked among the best, and the teacher said with a smile that it seems that the students' mouths are quite "sharp".
The most surprising ranking comes from the soup, the bottom three are the golden needle eel soup, the special turtle soup, the lobster seafood soup, in our eyes of the "high-end ingredients", actually inferior to tomato egg flower soup! Wang Bihao, a teacher in charge of canteen management at Chunhui Primary School, sighed: "Without investigation, I really don't know that the so-called high-end ingredients that adults like, children may not like." ”
Teacher Wang said that in the last semester, the school canteen tried ingredients such as yellow eel, turtle, lobster and other ingredients under the condition of sufficient funds, but only once or twice, the effect seemed to be not as good as expected. "For example, lobster and seafood soup, we make it relatively light, the teachers think it is quite delicious, but the students do not buy it, it is estimated that the children are more sensitive, smell the fishy smell of seafood."
In the early stage, in order to better understand the tastes of students, the school also let students take the initiative to recommend favorite dishes. After the data of the questionnaire was recycled, the school listed the top three dishes in each category and eliminated them in the last place, replacing them with recommended dishes submitted by students. "We intend to investigate every semester in the future and keep the menu updated."
In view of the situation that some children only love to eat meat and do not like to eat vegetarian, the school also has "tricks" to deal with. Teacher Wang introduced that students will ensure that there is a kind of leafy vegetables in the dishes every day, sometimes meat dishes are popular "popular dishes" such as chicken and rice flowers and large steaks, and when students want to add vegetables, the teacher will ask that the vegetables can only be added after eating. The school cafeteria also arranged for leftovers to be weighed and students were encouraged to cd-ROM.
In addition, there is a special existence in the lunch time of Chunhui Primary School - Dr. Nutrition. Every day there is always a child standing at the front of the restaurant with a megaphone and speaking loudly. "Eating lotus root and ribs together helps the detoxification and absorption of the stomach and intestines, which is very nourishing..." Every day at noon, the nutrition doctor will explain to the students every dish in the lunch of the day, after understanding the rich nutrition of the dishes and the scientific design of the recipes, the children's picky eating and partial eating situation is much better.
Teacher Wang introduced that the school's chef Chef Chen and the parents and teachers of the Food Management Association will make reasonable arrangements and scientific collocation of recipes every week in accordance with the requirements of nutrition, and increase crude fiber supplementary foods, seasonal vegetables and fruits from time to time with the changes of the seasons, so as to balance the dietary structure of students and ensure balanced nutrition.
