I'm having second thoughts...may be gas station eggs related

[Deleted]

The culinary arts students at the community college where i work are making a lunch next Tuesday as part of their Garde Manger (cold foods) class. I signed up to be a guinea pig for a Cuban sandwich with sides: black bean, jicama and corn salsa, tostones and a pickle. My second choice, should the Cuban not be available, is hand-made Italian sausage sandwich with onions and peppers, cucumber, onion and tomato salad, orzo salad and a pickle.

It sounds sooo good but now I'm afraid it's going to be like gas station eggs or worse...coworker meatballs.

Yikes! I confess that i skimmed at first and thought you dined on guinea pig :/

lol You should be fine. they are pretty strict with food quality and preparation at the schools (at least they were when H was in culinary)

Me too!  In fact, I read it as "cold guinea pig" and almost horked.

My husband is a high school teacher and his favorite day is when you can buy from the home ec students. I've only had their cupcakes, but they were ah-may-zing! I agree. Standards are high and the teachers are verifying quality. Enjoy!

No way dude, totally do it. The culinary program at the local CC here does this every Thursday and it's soooo good.

I bet it's better than the stuff I eat!

Ooh, we have culinary schools here and the ones I have had (a few of them!) have all been so good. Enjoy!

There is no such thing as a bad Cuban (anything) sandwich.

My culinary school was VERY strict about food safety (as it should be). You'll be good!

I'm at a high school, but I love when our advanced culinary kids do teacher lunches. Custom fancy sandwiches! I'd do it.

I'm a culinary teacher and our sanitation standards are really high, so you should be fine!

They never have these lunches on the days I teach at community college! So disappointing, I'd totally be down for it

[sergey]

I'd eat either no problem but I do have a stomach of steel (not the outside, just the inside).

You'll be fine! Better than fine - I bet it will be fantastic!

The Culinary School I went to had a fine dining restaurant. So good in order to get in you had to have a reservation, and it was only open for lunch!

Do it! I'm sure if nothing else they'll be strict about food freshness and preparation.

Although I'm the person who went to a beauty school for a haircut and ended up having my roommate (not a hair stylist) fix it at home.
