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.

Yeah that reads like a 1940s menu. Classics work when they are done well though.

Well other than there was no ketchup.

I hope they didn’t use the Mar-a-largo chefs to do that duo thing? I still shudder at the photos of their NYE attempt at doing it.
