Everyday is classroom lunch day at Trinity. My students enjoy a Jim Weiss story on CD while munching on their lunches. It amused me to look around the room yesterday and compare the typical mainland lunch to a typical Hawaiian lunch.
Mainland Mainstay- Peanut butter and jellyHawaiian equivalent - Mana Pua
Mainland Mainstay - Chicken Noodle Soup
Hawaiian equivalent - Miso Soup
Mainland Mainstay - Turkey Sandwich
Hawaiian equivalent - Sushi Handroll
Mainland Snackfare - Potato Chips
Hawaiian equivalent - Norikake (dried seaweed)
I can't tell you how cute my little students are as they eat these Asian treats. The staff are equally Asian in their food selections. It's not at all unusual to see a staff member eating their lunch with chopsticks in the staff lounge.
