What's this thing about "baby" (lathed/carved from larger) carrots? In
my school menu research, these turn up on US menus all across the
country. Plus "dip," of course.

As a kid, I found a food hint and convinced my mother to freeze a can
of juice which, wrapped in a napkin and foil, provided a mini-cold pak
for my brown-bag lunch.

Millions of kids brought tunafish sandwiches for lunch and I don't
recall any incidents of food poisoning. IMHO, (commercial, pastuized)
mayo isn't any more lethal than lunch meat or cheese -- at least over
a 3-4 hr period. Kids trade anyhow. I've always been fond of tunafish,
and regularly took over the Friday lunches of Catholic kids, who hated
it.
