This is my third recent snack related question, but you ladies helped me a great deal the last two times, so here I am again. This time, it is International Day at my sons' preschool.
Everyone is bringing something in so it shouldn't be something big and of course, preferably something that 3 and 4 year olds would llike to eat. It can be heated up if needed.
My background is mainly Polish and Italian but not so much that I really have alot of things that I cook that are Polish and Italian, and I am not set on staying with either one of those either. I was hoping to send something in that wouldn't be typical or chosen by someone else. There is a sign up sheet though so I am sure they will make sure that doesn't happen though.
Some ideas that were given are:
waffles, pierogies, sausage, pita bread, marshmallows, tacos, pineapple, french toast, bananas, fortune cookies, shortbread.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Hi cindy!

What about something Asian?
Do you have an Asian market in your area?
There is something called 'Senbei" which is a sort of rice cracker.
Here is a link about it:

Kids in Hawaii, love this. We locals all grow up eating this.
It does not have to be cooked or heated up. Just eaten out of the bag.
Easy.
I have a great fruit salsa recipe to go with your pita bread if you're interested. I know not very distinct but it is healthy and the kids would enjoy.
What about a beverage? My husband is from Brasil. They drink a soda called "guarana". It's sold here in many of the grocery stores.
Chineese - egg rolls
Polish - perogis
You could cut up polish sausage and put in a crockpot. (Poland?)
tortilla chips and nacho cheese (Mexico)
Little tea sandwiches (England)
Croissants (France)
Cheese quesadillas? Most kids love these and they're really easy to make, cut up and reheat. Flour tortilla, cheddar cheese, heat on a skillet, done. Could reheat in a microwave.
How about clementines? (Spain, although some are grown in
California)
It doesn't come across as particularly ethnic but, I'm English and I used to love (and still do) a treat called Mars Crisp. This is essentially rice crispie treats made with Milky Way instead of marshmallows. Same premise, melt some butter, chop up milky way(s) and melt them, mix in rice crispies. They are called Mars Crisp because the candy bar we use in England is a Mars bar which is in fact identical to the Milky Way here (UK Milky Way is a US 3 Muskateers - have i confused you yet?).
Enjoy.
p.s. - it's not terribly healthy unless you were already planning on eating a Milky Way
Hi Cindy---When my son was in Scouts we made frittatas (sp?). Kind of like an omlete and can be made with all kinds of ingredients. You can slice it up like a pizza and can be served either warm or cold. Since then, we've made this for meals quite often. It's really nice and light with a salad and maybe a glass of white wine. But, that's another subject.
I use this website ALOT. You may find some good ideas here, http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes_menus/world_regional. Here is another great website. Hope you enjoy it, http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/special_occasion_m....
Have fun! D.
Chicken sate for Indonesia or Spring Rolls for the Phillipines
Something easy would be....World Market. They have so many great snack type stuff from all over the place
