Tired of students bitching about the cafeteria food, some colleges are soliciting family recipes to add to the menus. From the Associated Press:
"It's a great connection with home for the students, and a way to de-institutionalize a college food service program," said J. Michael Floyd, food service director at the University of Georgia, which pioneered the approach 20 years ago with its annual Taste of Home competition…
From hundreds of entries that are taste-tested each year, Georgia has selected such winners as eclair squares, poppy seed chicken and bulldog punch bowl cake.
At Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, barbecued salmon and Thai eggplant dishes had their start in students' homes, as did the Ukrainian apple nut squares and whole-wheat cheddar buns.
