The Best Lunch of the Year

The Greenacres PTA hosted its annual Multicultural Lunch on April 12. Parents contributed and served a wide array of foods representing Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, the Caribbean, Latin America, Oceania, Australia, and New Zealand. The more than 75 delicious dishes and desserts included jolloff rice, sweet noodle kugel, samosas, udon noodles, sushi, crepes, spanakopita, matzah balls, lasagna, Irish soda bread, scones with jam, corn bread, mini hot dogs, plantains, arroz con pollo, fairy bread, macaroons and Icelandic pancakes. The festive luncheon is a much-loved occasion for students, faculty and staff. When asked what his favorite thing at the luncheon was, kindergarten student Charlie I replied "everything!" Another boy was overheard telling his buddy, "This is the best lunch of the year."
