taste test

Excitement filled the cafeteria at GFJ as students lined up for a special taste test of Street Corn tasteSalad—a new dish introduced by the Food & Health Network in partnership with BOCES School Nutrition Rock on Café. Armed with forks and curiosity, students sampled the flavorful mix of corn, spices, and fresh ingredients before heading to the voting board to cast their opinions.

The verdict? A resounding success! About 69% of students who tried the dish gave it a "loved it" or "liked it" vote. While not every taste teststudent was a fan, the results showed strong enthusiasm for adding fresh and exciting flavors to the school menu.

Events like this give students a voice in shaping their meals while promoting healthy, delicious options. Will Street Corn Salad make a regular appearance in the lunch lineup? Time will tell—but for now, it's safe to say it made a flavorful first impression!
