ps - the thread was about feeding onions to kids. I don’t see where culinary arts comes into it unless they carved the onions into some sort of sculpture.
I just had my first handful of spring onions from my garden
with dinner tonight. Like your Mom, I let them sit in a glass of water to keep them crisp.
I can’t see that going over too well as a snack for school children and I imagine if many of them did eat them
the building would reek of “death breath”.
Raw onions are good and good for ya.
The point we should take from the article is not that they had the audacity to serve II ions, but that in addition to gvt. paid for breakfast and lunch, we are paying for a snack for these children.
Parents need to pay to feed their children unless their circumstances are dire. This is becoming business as usual in too many schools.
Culinary art is the art of preparing and cooking foods. The word "culinary" is defined as something related to, or connected with, cooking. A culinarion is a person working in the culinary arts. A culinarian working in restaurants is commonly known as a cook or a chef. Culinary artists are responsible for skillfully preparing meals that are as pleasing to the palate as to the eye. Increasingly they are required to have a knowledge of the science of food and an understanding of diet and nutrition. They work primarily in restaurants, fast food chain store franchises, delicatessens, hospitals and other institutions. Kitchen conditions vary depending on the type of business, restaurant, nursing home, etc.
So I don't think sliced onions falls into the category of Culinary Arts, professor.
Onions are also a good remedy or preventative for scurvy.
I used to love raw zucchini, straight from the garden. After it’s sat on the shelf a few days it really needs to be cooked, though.
Thank you. There really is no cornbread worth eating besides unsweetened cornbread.
They are gone only to those Americans that tolerate this dictatorship.
Forcing children to eat raw onions is not out of concern for their health. It is out of the determination to control.
I’m allergic to them too. I keep getting told that I’m “just a picky eater”, but I’d rather be picky than sick.
Fresh dug new potato right from the garden with a little sprnkle of salt is delicious....the skin is so delicate you can just wipe it off the potato....needs 3-4 days after digging to get the skin harden.
WHAT DO PARENTS DO NOW?
Make it three.
Maybe we can get them banned like the peanut nazis. /s
