Football is on the menu

The menu is made up of a choice of football meatballs (pork meatballs with pasta in a tomato sauce), quorn footballs (quornballs served with pasta in a tomato sauce) or trophy seafood (breaded salmon or pollock served with herby diced potatoes and tangy seafood dip), with half-term vegetables (sweetcorn and peas). The main course will be followed by final whistle cake – chocolate cake topped with icing and maltesers. The idea is to encourage more pupils to eat school meals, which are a great regular source of healthy and nutritious food. Lynne Hall, of Shire Services at Shropshire Council, said: "We hope the FA Cup Final menu will prove popular – especially as it coincides with Shrewsbury Town's visit to Wembley for the play-off final. School meals are a great way for children to enjoy locally-produced healthy food on a daily basis."
