Food Enjoyment Survey

For dinner tonight, I made some "Food Enjoyment Surveys" for the girls. These had a number of different items on them, I had them rate how they liked them on the following scale:
  1. Not very much
  2. A little
  3. Some
  4. A Lot
  5. Love it
My purpose in doing this was to get them to:
  1. Eat some of the odds and ends we have
  2. Get them to quiet down for a little while
  3. Keep them eating in the hopes that they would get full
The items in the survey:
  • Artichoke hearts
  • Maraschino cherries
  • Olives
  • Fried Potatoes
  • Pretzels
  • Banana
  • Chocolate milk
  • Peach Ice Cream
  • Watermelon
  • String Cheese
  • Taquitos
  • Fruit Leather
  • All Bran Crackers
The artichoke hearts were nearly universally panned. (Mary gave them a '2', the highest vote. Ruth sent them back to the chef.) Emma gave 5's to everything except artichokes hearts (1), fried potatoes (3), and taquitos (1). Emma told me she would have liked the taquitos better if they had been bacon that was cooked. Hard to argue with that, lots of things would be better if they were cooked bacon... At least they ate their dinner.
