Taste Test in the Cafeteria

Here at TES we value student feedback in all areas of the school community. The Sodexo and YCSD food service team put on a taste test featuring roasted pumpkin with cinnamon and sugar, olive oil, and salt. Students were able to taste a sample of the pumpkin, give feedback, and receive a recipe card to make it at home! The goal of the taste test was to have students try a new item that may be featured in the cafeteria. Here are some of our student reviews: 

"I give it a 10/10. It was so yummy!" - 3rd grader

"3 stars! I thought I wouldn't like it but it was pretty good." - 4th grader

"7/10 it tasted like the inside of a pumpkin." - 1st grader

"9/10 I like the cinnamon flavor!" -5th grader

 

Here is the recipe if you would like to try it!
