Hi
I want my class to do an around-the-world study unit which culminates in a
luncheon. I only have 5 or 6 kids in the class, and an aide. I plan on
asking their parents if they'd like to send something of their culture in.
I have a nice mix of ethnicities. (Hondoran, Peurto Rican, African-American
2nd generation from St. Lucia, African-American with a religious diet,
Polish-German Italian and one South African Indian and Caucasian.)

Do you think I should give some guidelines, or just let them send anything
they want? I don't want all desserts or a bunch of foods that the kids
won't even try (collard greens or gefilte fish come to mind.)

As a Russian Jew, I was thinking of blintzes or Halvah for my contribution,
and maybe some kugel too.

Any ideas? I have plenty of time to plan :-) We'll study cultures other than
those represented in the room, also.
