We watched a clip from 'Oliver Twist' to learn about the food eaten by children in the workhouses (the past) and we compared it to the food we eat now, in the present day. The children all definitely prefered food from the present day!
We then all tasted a range of foods from different times. On the menu on Wednesday was;
gruel
liver and onion
corned beef hash
fish fingers
The children all had the opportunity to smell and taste the different foods and some children acquired some surprising new tastes!
