Picture this: a student walks into Wilm-
ington Friends School cafeteria in the morning

and their stomach growling louder than ever
before. They start to walk around the store, and
their mind starts racing, wondering what they
should get today. Well, it happens to everyone,
but here are a few things to note for the next
time a student take a trip there.
According to a survey sent out to all
WFS upper schoolers, 56.9% of students mainly
go to the cafeteria for snacks. Some snacks may
include chips, muffins, fruit, and other baked
goods such as donuts, croissants, and scones.
While writing this article an interview
with Stephanie from the Culinart kitchen staff
was conducted. To show the previous point even
further, during our interview, she said, “Muffins
actually sell out the fastest.”

Owen Strauss is a sophomore at Wilm-
ington Friends School and he enjoys grabbing

lunch from the cafeteria on days he doesn’t bring

his own lunch. He also will stop by for a quick
snack sometimes. According to him, he said he
has “never bought a chocolate chip muffin”.
Although snacks are very popular, the

next favorite item is the hot main meal. Accord-
ing to the survey, 41.3% of students at this school

normally go for the main meals. Typically, a big
line comes from the cafeteria at lunch, and now

we know why. They provide many different cui-
sines for the students to enjoy.

Stephanie agrees that the main meal is
the best option, hers being a chicken quesadilla.
A common misconception is that the
cafeteria desserts would sell out the quickest, but
that’s not the case. The survey showed that only
13.8% of students go for a yummy dessert.
What sells the least? According to
Stephanie, hard boiled eggs sell out the least;
they never get sold. Let’s just say they don’t look
that appealing. Owen Strauss noted, “He has
never and will never buy hard boiled eggs.” So it
sounds like many people probably don’t and have
never gotten them since they sell out the least.
Hard-boiled eggs selling relates to the survey
again; the last thing students go to the cafeteria
for is breakfast, which makes sense because so
many people can get their breakfast from home.
When a student goes to the cafeteria,
they may want to look for some good fresh

baked goods, maybe for breakfast or snacks, be-
fore they are all gone. Then, during lunch, if the

line isn’t too long, get in line for the main meal
if the student enjoy what they have on the menu
for that day.
