What's for lunch 10/19/12


Oven Baked Breaded Chicken 
Whole Grain Roll
Herb-Roasted Potato Wedge
 Mesclun Salad 
Fresh Fruit


The oven baked fried chicken is made here with a breading of corn meal, panko bread crumbs, flour, buttermilk and some salt and pepper. It is oven-baked and not fried - hence the quotation marks. (The new menus are a lot of work for the food services staff - thank you!)

The  potato wedges are government commodity potatoes (a cost savings - the staff has been trying to use our free commodity foods very carefully to avoid the worst products like chicken nuggets.). They arrive frozen. I was told they are completely plain potatoes that are only baked with our seasonings.  I actually tried htem last month and they were very good. I've asked for the label to confirm they are plain and not fried at any point int he process.

I am not sure what the meslcun salad ingredients are, but I am assuming they are fresh. These menu items minus the salad are not my favorites. Mainly because the chicken is not organic and the potato wedges are frozen. Luckily there is always the salad bar.
