Abstract

A Finger-Licking Dish (locally referred to as Pjat za polizat’) presents the results of a survey of nutrition in kindergartens on the island of Hvar in the spring of 2019. This research primarily strived to question the logic and logistics of organised children’s nutrition, but also the level of children’s nutrition literacy. Against the backdrop of a lack of educational or similar long-term programmes aimed at the local community, the project was intended (in part) as action research, a kind of pilot project aimed at raising awareness of the basic values of the Mediterranean diet within preschool education, and consequently in the local community.
