Parents appalled by gross lunch served at Virginia school
Wavy.com
Even officials at a Portsmouth, Virginia school thought this fish fillet meal was ‘unappealing.’
Not even Chris Farley’s Lunch Lady would serve a Virginia school’s fish fillet this de-appetizing.
The platter at James Hurst Elementary is the school’s take on spicy cajun fish with brown rice, a dish criticized by concerned parents on social media,
according to WAVY-TV.
In place of rice, like a Portsmouth Public Schools menu promised, there’s a few measly kernels of corn and a dinner roll.
The district’s administration is siding with the parents in this case.
“
Poor lighting and food presentation make this lunch unappealing,” Jim Gehlhoff, the district’s food service coordinator, said in a statement to WAVY-TV.
He plans to have cafeteria staff go through training on how to present food to children.
As awful as the lunch looked, however, it meets all the nutritional and USDA requirements, Gehlhoff added.
