On Monday 8th March 2010, Chilango Meadowhall hosted 24 children from St Peters C of E Primary School, Barnsley. The children spent a couple of hours learning about how we prepare some of our ingredients and our friendly crew showed them around the Chilango Kitchen. They started by learning how to make Pico de Gallo and then moved on to the grill area where David Baker, our Grill Chef, talked about how we cook our chicken and steak. He also showed them how to make our Salsa Asada ( medium salsa ), which they couldn’t get enough of.
The children where loving the experience and couldn’t wait to start making the guacamole although they had a little trouble using the over-sized masher which is probably why some of it ended up on their faces. Despite the mess, most of them thought the guacamole was awesome.
The children then had the chance to make their own meals before sitting down to enjoy all the new flavours from Mexico that they had so eagerly learnt about.
The day was a great success and the staff at Chilango had just as much fun as the pupils. The children were so impressed by their visit that they each made Chilango a special card. It was a great experience for everyone involved!
“Thank you again for the food, it was delicious and I’m sure many – including myself, will be returning. It certainly was a day that all the children will remember and such an enhancement to our learning about Mexico. “Lorna (Teacher at Tankersley St Peter’s Primary School)
