Food survey in Estonia Students conducted surveys in our local shop about foreign and local traditional food and traditional products.

Year 1 - Italian food

Year 2 - Romanian, Greek, and Cypriot food

Year 3 - Polish food

Year 4 - Estonian food

In the shop

Children said that the task was interesting and rather easy. Only students of Year 2 were

very unhappy because they could not find any food from Romania, Greece or Cyprus in

our shop. Students of Year 1 said the task was easy because they could see the Italian

flag on the packages. Year 3 and 4 had difficulties in finding the name of the country

because the print was very small and it was difficult to read the text. A lot of products

have the marking MADE in EU. So one can’t tell in which country the food is actually

made.

This was the letter of gratitude to our local shop for the cooperation and help.

To sum up: The students found out that we have a lot of different Italian food (drinks, pasta, fruits). It was surprising for them that in winter we could buy Italian grapes and mandarines.

The variaty of Polish food is rather big (apples, onions, dairy products, margarine, meat products, soft drinks, canned food, sweets).

As it was expected the number of Estonian products was large.
