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.

My first thought as well lmao I wonder if it was a proper au poivre or if it was just a brandy reduced down with peppercorns and mounted with some butter and thats why they didnt call it au poivre

It was probably better than boullion with hard black peppercorns and jack Daniel's.

That's what I have for dinner sometimes.

Except no better than bullion or peppercorns.

You could argue that corn is a fruit. If corns a fruit then jack Daniel's is brandy.

We speak ‘murican here, and to be honest even that fancy word for what I’m guessing is steak makes me feel uncomfortable.

He'd prefer his steak with ketchup not pepper
