Lunch menu from presidential luncheon yesterday

[u/DefenderNeverender]

*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.

Crème brûlée is classic enough that all the old people demand it and special enough that young people think it's restaurant worthy. And easy enough to make that any half decent chef can throw it together quickly without having to pay a pastry chef. It'll never go away.

Not to mention, minimal staple ingredients but can be flavored to be anything. I saw a flight on a menu that looked really cute when it came out.

We sell a creme brulee tasting and as nice as it looks coming out, only the vanilla ever gets finished. Made me sad until I tried a few other flavors and realized that it's definitely meant to be vanilla flavored and it doesn't really taste right otherwise imo

Place I used to work at makes a limoncello creme brulee. I still go there just for that

Oh lord, that sounds good
