I refuse to click. I just did the grocery shopping for Thanksgiving - rosemary turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, caramelized brussels sprouts with BACON and fresh green beans in garlic and lemon - and it is taking all I have to not tear into my fridge right this minute. Reading the menu will only further weaken my resolve.
Is the White House required to serve only US wines? Just curious. And if so, IN THIS ECONOMY where is my beloved Charles Shaw? CMON OBAMA I VOTED FOR CHANGE
@meritxell: an erotic life: Yes, they do try to serve domestic only. Fortunately for the President and his minions, West Coast wine rocks. It's a real problem when they have to serve bubbly, though, since I believe there's only one true high-end US champagne.
@Twerpsichore: its not Thanksgiving dinner, its a State Dinner. when heads of State visit. and since this head of State is Indian = many vegetarian dishes.
Marcus Samuelsson's White House State Dinner menu may induce a powerful craving for Marcus Samuelsson. Actually, Samuelsson, minus the menu, induces the powerful craving all on his own. :)
@lauraholtsteele: I don't know, the last time I saw Marcus Samuelsson he was dissing my boyfriend Stefan's creamed spinach! Although, pralines sound so good right now that I may be willing to forgive him.

I would have to hide all the courses except dessert in my handbag...this is why I always carry a substantial handbag to dinner!

Perhaps the comely Mr. Samuelsson will be presented on a platter with an apple in his mouth?
Side note: Salivary glands are prepped for DH's incomparable pralines. I like to help "clean up" the odd bits.
Mmmm. Glucose.

Although, any excuse to drool over Marcus Samuellsson -- excuse me, I mean one of the world's top chef's exquisite international cuisine.
Ahem.

I'm not a cook and only know how to read fast food short hand. Which is both bad and good but I see I need to broaden my food horizons.
