Takeaways
• Spaghetti sauce recipe needed to be revised based upon feedback from the kids on the surveys
• The mushrooms in the sauce were not the issue
• Spaghetti as an entrée had low participation• If you serve “scoops” kids will eat anything out
of them and love it!
Takeaways
• Kids tell you what they think• Sampling works• Sampling requires time, effort and staff but is
well received by students as a means of introducing new or modified entrees
