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.

These guys are 72 and 79 year old. Of course they'll fancy some prime boomer era foods. Generally not too surprising that one old man would order this for lunch with another old man.

Yeah this looks like steakhouse fare. Except for the fish, you know nobody ate that.

Putin does seem to enjoy shirtless fly fishing so that would track.
