Describir una breve historia de haystacks.

The young family enjoyed dining out at a local Mexican restaurant, and they were fans of the tostadas. Before long the Hartleins moved to Idaho, then on to Iowa, serving at an academy there. There was a clear shortage of Mexican restaurants in those locales, and the Hartleins missed their beloved tostadas.

For a Fourth of July picnic, faculty women got together to figure out what to serve the crowd.

Mrs. Hartlein, who by now had improvised and come up with a dish that would satisfy the Hartlein families tostada cravings, had a suggestion. “I’ll tell you something we’ve had,” she said. And out came the story of how she began using Fritos corn chips in place of tostada shells and adding beans, lettuce, other veggies, and cheese. “So, this is what I suggested to the other faculty ladies to serve at the picnic,” said Mrs. Hartlein.

The kids thought it was wonderful, so the school adopted the recipe and served it every week in the cafeteria.

One of the faculty members was approached by the local newspaper to share recipes from the faculty women for a small feature article.

When the recipes were turned in, this concoction of chips, beans, veggies and cheese was labelled the “Hartlein Special,” in honour of Ella May.

From there the dish went forth, though it is unclear when people began referring to it as “Haystacks”.

Clearly, the dish, and its fame, have gone far and wide, known today as haystacks, a staple meal, loved the world over by many Seventh-day Adventists and their friends.

• It is a healthy meal containing fibre, low in cholesterol and high in protein that coincides with our desire to care for our bodies as the temple of God.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's.
-- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV)

• As the meal is made of many small parts, the ingredients can be split between several families and transported in separate containers. When brought together, it is an excellent option for a pot-luck or a meal for many families for a Sabbath lunch.
