Retro Sesame Street Goes to a Mexican Restaurant and Makes a Fruit Salad

There's something quite sweet about watching kids working with food, so I thought you might enjoy a trip back to old-school Sesame Street.

Above, two tykes talk about their family's Mexican restaurant, and how they make a few dishes. Since this is a children's show, the kids are involved in all of it, from the grating of the cheese (with a healthy dose of cheese eating and finger-licking) to serving the meal.

And to get even more hands-on, hit the jump to watch another little one make a fruit salad. From start to finish, he slices and dices until he has a bowl full of fruit -- which his friends instantly devour. ...if only we saw that more often on the television! Personally, this one jets me back to my youth and the large fruit compotes my father would always make -- just about the one way my parents could always get me to eat fruit!

I hope you enjoy, and if you know of any other great retro SS food videos, share them in the comments!
