Taste Test Tuesday

Taste Test Tuesday is a fun and interactive program that introduces youth to new foods and flavors through engaging taste testing activities. Each week, participants will have the opportunity to try out different dishes, snacks, and beverages in a playful and innovative way.

The goal of Taste Test Tuesday is to expand young people’s palates, encourage them to be adventurous with their food choices, and promote healthy eating habits. By making the tasting experience enjoyable and interactive, the program aims to help youth develop a positive relationship with food and a willingness to try new things.

During Taste Test Tuesday sessions, participants may engage in blind taste tests where they have to guess the ingredients or flavors of a dish, participate in food trivia games to learn more about different cuisines, or even compete in cooking challenges to create their own unique dishes.

Overall, Taste Test Tuesday aims to make the experience of trying new foods exciting and enjoyable for youth. By engaging their senses and creativity, the program encourages young people to be open-minded about food and explore the diverse world of flavors and cuisines.
