Potential new additions to breakfast and lunch menus in Centreville and Mendon were sampled through a student taste-test experience earlier this month.
Spearheaded by food-service provider Chartwells and organized by Marilyn Rosewarne, director of dining services at both districts, the “Student Choice” trial featured samples of a Nashville spicy chicken sandwich with confetti coleslaw on the side and a breakfast burrito featuring ham, egg and cheese with salsa.
In Centreville, the samples were offered March 7 at the junior/senior high school, while Mendon middle school/high school students took part March 14.
Rosewarne said the Nashville spicy chicken sandwich was the clearcut winner by a margin of more than two to one at both buildings. She said the item will be added as a lunch option at both schools at least for a few more times before the end of the academic year.
Considering the burrito received a lukewarm response, Rosewarne said she is tempted to include it with other hot-choice breakfast offerings just to gauge student interest.
