Staff member describes students trying spam musubi in classroom
Summary
A staff member recounted how students introduced and reacted to spam musubi in class, describing the snack and noting that students often sampled it during lunch or passing periods.
Speaker 1, a staff member, described offering students a Polynesian snack called spam musubi and said it often drew classmates into the classroom to try it. “I would have students who would make spam musubi, which I had no idea how to make. None. But I had a lot of Polynesian kids who love spam musubi,” Speaker 1 said.
The staff member explained what spam musubi is and how it was prepared in the classroom: “So it could just be plain soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, a bunch of things. And then has a rice on the bottom and then wrapped in seaweed. Very, very simple and very much like this is just like our mac and cheese for lunch. This this is just plain, simple food. And, they would they taught me how to make it.”
The account noted that other students frequently smelled the snack and came into the room to taste it. “A lot of times what would happen is I would have kids come in from the hallway and smell what was going on and they would come in and it would be spam musubi,” Speaker 1 said, adding that students were sometimes surprised that the filling was canned Spam but often liked the flavor when they tried it.
The remarks were a personal recollection about food in a classroom setting; no formal actions, policies or decisions were recorded in the transcript.
