just back from an open evening at our local secondary school and had the pleasure to look at the food technology department...they seemed to do lots of "projects"...eg designing a questionnaire to find out what type of food a "target group" might want...and watching cut apple go brown . When I asked a sixth former if she knew how to bake a cake she said "erm...yes...but that's because I do it at home". shouldn;t they teach, erm, cooking? you know, how to make a white sauce, how to cook mince so that you can make spag bol, chilli or shepherds pie...how to cook a stew, a basic 4-4-4-2 sponge with butter cream icing that you can knok up in 10 mins without getting a recipe book out.
AIBU?
to be deeply sceptical about "food technology"
