New items may be headed to the lunch menu at Patrick M. Villano School. Eleven of the school’s Student Congress members attended a food tasting with Pomptonian Food Service on December 12, 2023. The company is located in Fairfield, New Jersey, and provides lunch to the Emerson Public School District.
Samanya Panda, a fifth-grade student, walked away with a favorite food.
“Apple strudel because the jam was very spot on, and I loved the dough around it because it was so chewy and I love chewy stuff,¨ Panda said.
Student Congress secretary, Fernando Menez Lopez, agrees with Panda.
“I liked the first one because it didn’t have a lot of filling. I also liked it because it was not too hard but not too soft,” Lopez explained.
Arya Sontag, another fifth-grade student, had a different favorite item.
¨It was the potato pancakes because they had really good spices and were chewy and good,” Sontag said.
The students’ opinions are heading back to Pomptonian Food Service for further consideration.
