If you were President (or First Spouse), what would you serve at your first state dinner?

Why?

R1, because it’s delicious and it’s all about me.

OP it’s a state dinner, not an after church meal in the south. Fuck me.

I would just go the classic route: wedge salad, followed by Roast Beef with aus jus, roasted potatoes, steamed green beans, dinner rolls, and chocolate torte for dessert. After organizing my first dinner, I would get more adventurous.

I would serve Les Joues de Trump.

On spikes.

I'd serve not enough Popeyes chicken sandwiches and let guests fight it out for them.

Small derringers provided plate side.

Chicken fingers with fingerling potatoes and ladyfingers for dessert.

The theme of my dinner is "fingers."

Ceviche, pozole, cochinita pibil, and flan.

I’m guessing R4 is white.

Well, golly, OP, them’s sure some fine eatins! I’ll bet you’d serve them vittles up all fancy-like. Just like them rich cityfolk!!

Are there vegan or vegetarian options at State Dinners?

R4 is DL legend Mamie Eisenhower come back to life. “More adventurous” = “newfangled TeeVee dinners.”

Gluten soup and toast with no avocado.

Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding because my best friend Kate Middleton is my first guest.

R12 You meant it as an insult, but I freaking love Mamie Eisenhower, so thank you for the compliment.

Fairy toast

Lobster cocktail , wedge salad. Beef Wellington, scalloped potatoes and/or roasted Brussel sprouts and New York cheesecake

R7 What about finger sandwiches? They could be a starter.

R18 and later, when taking tea in the drawing room, there is getting fingered?

Brokened cheeseburgers.

FANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I'm coming to the OP's state dinner.

I'll serve something to make the cuntervatards heads explode.

Like sushi and avacado spread on gluten free toast with a fancy latte or some shit like that.

I suggested cigarettes and Windex, should Michael win.

But he lost.

Pancakes Barbara!

Lobster, scallop salad, asparagus, baked potatoes and apple pie and ice cream if I’m going all American 4th of July gathering.

If I were being adventurous, poke (which I found out is native to Hawaii), tuna steaks and seasonal vegetables. Soufflé for dessert.

The menu would have to vary based on season and who’s attending. Give us parameters, op.

Venison chili and cornbread.

OP, I'd love to see the Queen of the UK have to chow down on your quaint Appalachian fare....

Gin

Pills

Regret.

Non event toast

Of which country/kingdom/principality/ashram, OP?

Prime rib of beef au jus, baked potato fully loaded and roasted Brussels sprouts

R24

For years I thought if I got married I’d give guests a choice of rabbit or salmon, because I’m classy that way.

Pasta.

Rabbit tastes delicious R39.

I would serve salmon with pasta if I were feeling cordial. Or if I was feeling mischievous, super spicy chicken tikka masala, naan, rice, and Asian/Desi rice pudding with cardamom, and yogurt for dessert.

Seafood sinigang, camaron rebosado, paella, and lechon, followed by leche flan and halo-halo.

Lobster and artichokes

CORN!!! LOTS OF CORN!!!

Hamberder Helper.

1. Asparagus soup

2. Potato pierogies with lardons and creme fraiche

R47 Welcome to DL Christopher Knight.

My home made manicotti. I even make the crepes to stuff from scratch, This will be served with a side salad and semolina bread.

I would let the White House chief decide, people are more motivated when they feel like they are in charge than when being ordered to do something.

OK I take it back. I would serve either LSD, or better yet psychedelic mushroom soup, just 1.5 grams.

Kiked up goy dreck.
