The children were given three jellies in one experiment, where their assumptions of taste based on what the foods looked like were challenged.

Mr Lister, pictured inset, also made fresh salads with pupils, asking them where each food originated in the world.
At the end of the day the pupils were given their own chef's hats and aprons.
