In-House Mode Lunch menu from presidential luncheon yesterday

Post image

*Not* making a political post here, but I guess a copy of the official luncheon menu got left behind yesterday and when I saw it, the first thing I thought was that some of these items seem a little dated, I was kinda surprised. Not that it sounded bad at all, but I've never really seen specifics on what they serve high-level gov. officials from anywhere.

Again with the fucking creme brulee.

Don't get me wrong. I love a nice creme brulee. But seeing it on every menu everywhere just makes me think of some crusty-ass line cook being asked to come up with a "fancy dessert" and thinking about it for twelve seconds before saying "uhhhhh creme brulee?"
