As often as possible, a surprise should be included, generally in the form of a dessert of which the pupil is fond. A surprise adds to the pupil's pleasure in eating and, indirectly, aids digestion.
PACKING THE LUNCH BOX
Much of the attractiveness of a lunch depends upon the manner of packing. We must consider the fact that the foods must be packed together closely and must remain so packed for several hours. This makes careful packing a necessity.
RULES FOR PACKING
|
1. Be sure that the box is absolutely clean.
|
|
2. Line it with fresh paper every time it is
used.
|
|
3. Wrap each article of food in wax paper.
|
|
4. Place in the box neatly, the food that is to be
used last in the bottom of the box, unless it is easily
crushed.
|
|
5. Lay a neatly folded napkin on the top.
