Where's the pea soup with hints of lavendar? They talked about that on tv this morning.
Yeesh! Anything but the [censored] in the above list. Chorizo Pazole? Apple Chipotle Sauce? What the Hell are "micro greens". Some cuisines lend themselves to fusion, but Mexican isn't one of them.

Don,...
Why on earth would they serve so many peppery dishes to someone whose native food does not include much heat? When we host most Europeans we notice they are very sensitive to hot foods, i.e. they don't LIKE them.

It was billed as mostly a "typically American menu" with a couple things to remind the Queen of home. As with the ridiculous fiasco at the airport for her arrival 'welcoming', I detect more that a few nuances of snubbery (sic) and disrespect in the White House arrangements for this visit. What is surprising is that George didn't try to get the Queen to help him cut brush at the ranch. Given the Bush's unfortunate entanglements with alcohol, I wonder--- do they imbibe or do they refrain as their guests are served spirits? Does anyone know?

Not much on any real vittles I'd actually want to eat but with whatever is there everything would go better with beer... that's definitely a texmex redneck menu.

Well, it'll be wasted anyway. Dubya will most likely belch and then fart before the dessert course.

Not only that, but I seriously doubt this is the menu for the state dinner. I read somewhere this weekend, that the Queen doesn't like spicy food, and this would definitely NOT fit the bill.

And drink his water out of a bottle. Apparently, that really happened until Colin Powell steered him in the right direction by finally pouring it into W's glass. Also, let's hope he doesn't speak with his mouth full this time.
