Mention fried chicken bites and almost every child’s eyes light up. Parents, on the other hand, tend to go on alert at the thought of fast-food chains. So with our Gastro Calendar, we decided to take this much-loved fast-food favourite and do it properly – healthier, tastier, and with a hint of Japanese flavour.
In the third week of June, little diners can choose chicken strips in a sesame and cornflake crumb, served with sweet and tangy tonkatsu sauce, jasmine rice and a cabbage salad. Healthy, tasty, playful, and with an exotic twist!
Every child knows that a racing car with stripes goes faster. And with food, it’s much the same – the more colourful it is, the better it not only looks, but tastes too. That’s why, in the third week of May, our Gastro Calendar is adding a splash of colour to young diners’ plates.
In our school canteens, you’ll find fragrant roast chicken thigh with thyme, served with carrot and potato purée and sautéed sweetcorn. Green from fresh thyme, orange from carrots and yellow from corn – suddenly this classic looks a lot more fun!
Spring is in full swing, and everything feels fresh and new again. So why not freshen up the menu too? In the third week of April, our Gastro Calendar gives a familiar favourite a lighter spin.
You guessed it – we’re talking about spaghetti Bolognese. This usually quite hearty dish has been lightened up: instead of beef, little diners will find African catfish in their favourite sauce, rich in unsaturated fats and vitamin D. A perfect springtime reset after all that Easter chocolate.
Nature is waking up, everything’s turning green, and Easter is just around the corner – hooray! Let’s bring spring and its favourite holiday into our school canteens. In the third week of March, our Gastro Calendar will serve up a delicious Easter-inspired treat.
What does a colourful Easter spring look like on a plate? Think chicken drumsticks roasted with fragrant spring herbs, served with pea-studded bulgur and glazed carrots. The freshness of spring meets Easter abundance in a dish that brightens the day with colour – and leaves everyone happily full.
February doesn’t have to be short, grey or boring. After all, it’s the height of the Shrovetide carnival season – so why not bring a bit of that celebration into the school canteen? Brighten up the winter mood with a Gastro Calendar meal that’s as colourful and playful as a carnival!
Welcome to the new year! In 2026, we’ll continue to explore global cuisine in Primirest canteens as part of our Gastro Calendar. And we’re kicking things off in January with a Swedish classic that many of us can’thelp but associate with a visit to a certain popular furniture store.
In the third week of the month, our menus will feature köttbullar, Swedish meatballs, served with a smooth and sweet cranberry cream sauce, steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. A perfect winter dish from one of the toughest nations in Europe when it comes to cold weather!
