The Exeter-Milligan Foods and
Nutrition class was able to enjoy their annual Thanksgiving meal.
Students were responsible for making every food item from scratch. This
event starts will research and looking for recipes, filling out market orders,
calculating the cost of the food prepared by using current prices and a price
sheet for smaller items, preparing the food over a 2 day period, setting up the
tablescape, inviting two student guests, two teacher guests and an
administrator. The students and guests enjoyed: Deep-fat fried
turkey, citrus glazed ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans with lemon and
toasted walnuts, cheddar biscuits, cornbread stuffing and ending the meal with
homemade pumpkin and apple pies. The students gained the knowledge of the
need for preparation skills, recipe reading and following directions, manners
and etiquette and through some research the history of the United States
Thanksgiving.
