Dassel Cokato kids will be having sauerkraut this week at school. Years ago, the woman who was regional director of food service for the area, said kids from McLeod County grew up in German homes and gobbled up sauerkraut whenever it was served. Kids from Dassel Cokato, though, wouldn’t touch it. However, kids from Dassel Cokato loved creamed peas. Kids from McLeod County couldn’t stand them. I wonder if kids’ taste in foods have changed since then. Will DC kids eat sauerkraut now?

How about the kids at GSL? Do they enjoy kolaches while the kids elsewhere wouldn’t savor that delicacy? Every school district has its specialties, and like everything else, those tastes/favorites should be respected (and enjoyed) by those who grew up with those tastes and those who never heard of such a favorite food!!
I will admit it, I went to the Glencoe school district. I grew up in a very German household. I would not TOUCH any sauerkraut. I do not think any of my siblings would eat it either. Most of the trays that I saw go back during school still had the awful stuff still on it. It smells awful no matter what you do to it.
The regional director of the food service wasn’t at the Glencoe schools when it was served (or didn’t hear about the amount of sauerkraut left in the garbage cans). We were just taught that you had to accept everything that was offered to you for food. You did not have to eat it, but then you couldn’t come back in a short time and say that you wanted something to eat. You just knew that you would be hungry for a while after that meal was offered (be it at home or at school).
