Mrs. Reasoner is throwing a birthday party for her 10-year-old twin girls, Jana and Joanna. It is going to be a big party with lots of children and she is having a tough time deciding what food to serve that every child will like and be able to eat. Making her task even more of a challenge is that the group of children is so diverse. One child is the son of an orthodox Rabbi. Then there is a Hispanic child, newly arrived with his parents from Santo Domingo. A third child is allergic to shellfish. Mrs. Reasoner e-mails all of the parents, asking for their suggestions, and now has the choice narrowed down to four dishes. Can you help her decide which dish to serve?
Explanation
Answer: B - Both hot dogs, which are usually made with pork, and cheeseburgers, mixing meat and dairy, might be a problem for the Jewish child, while the shrimp empanadas would be taboo for the child who has seafood allergies. However, pizza is a universal party food that almost all children adore and can eat. Including a choice of toppings in separate serving bowls, rather than having them already on the pizza, is an excellent idea. That way each guest can custom design his or her own pizza based on taste preferences, dietary restrictions, and food intolerances.
