I guess "Rose Blossoms" is the dessert. Wonder what that is. Can't imagine actually eating all those courses, but I suppose they're much smaller than what one would find at most pig-out restaurants in the US.

A description of the "peachy" ones: -- Rich chocolate cake, drizzled with a simple syrup enhanced with Chambord (French raspberry liqueur) and Kahlua (Mexican coffee liqueur), then topped with a Chambord enhanced buttercream icing rose blossom. Each blossom is decorated with one French candy rose. Finally, each blossom shimmers from a dusting of edible/Kosher glitter. --
I've eaten large multi-course dinners, and each course is much smaller than the mountains of food presented in American chain restaurants. You walk away satisfied, not stuffed like you are going to explode.

I hope that the president vomits on the queen.
--Bryan
That's funny, I'm hoping one of the Queen's corgis vomits on Dubya!
I admire Queen Elizabeth II, she has been the model of graciousness, propriety and discretion for over half a century. It's amazing a person could be on their best behavior for so long. She'd have to be quite a person to manage so long. At the opposite extreme is Paris Hilton, who is probably closer to Dubya's kind of people than the Queen.

Dubya eats like royalty while all over the world others suffer deeply from his misadventures. Others pay the dinner tab: some in money, some in blood. With all that's going on in the world, and all the scandal of this president's administration, I find it particularly insensitive that the white house flaunts this kind of dinner menu. Marie Antoinette redux.

Dubya eats like royalty because he thinks he's a king. He has no problem suspending parts of the Constitution to suit his needs. I call him King George I. He thinks he's a king because of all his loyal subjects who bow down to him constantly. At least that's they way he sees it, because when he is out giving speeches, it is always to a completely friendly crowd. Dare to so much as wear a t-shirt with a non-supportive message, and the Secret Service will haul you away. Dubya claims he is listening to the generals now, only problem is that he appointed yes men, so they tell him what he wants to hear.

One of the news channels quoted Laura as hoping he doesn't mess up at dinner. So do you think he will eat with his elbow on the table, wipe his mouth with his sleeve and belch at the Queen. I think that would be more offensive than hurling on her, as puking sometimes cannot be helped, but ignorance knows no boundries with this bunghole. -ginny

Could it be sugared blossoming rose petals?

An article in the Washington Post describes Rose Blossoms as "an elegant creation of meringue and spun sugar."

But Dubya is a pretty slow learner. There's only so much a teacher can do. Dubya has only had four other state dinners in the past 6 years. Maybe he keeps his elbows of the table now, but he hasn't mastered the order to use the forks, or whether the wine glass to the left or right is his. I think that is why they seat him at the end of the table, so it's obvious which items are for him. Perhaps the forks are numbered.
Indeed, I have checked and that is how it appears on the White House Web site, too. Is there no one on the White House staff to correct this, considering this is a white-tie dinner in honour of the Queen of England?

OT Coincidence - The day after I read this post, the book I'm currently reading had the following sentence: "The food--clear soup, dover sole, saddle of lamb with garden peas, strawberries and cream, and a fine Cheddar cheese--was superb." (from The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy by James Anderson)

So what? Every President has done the same. Both political parties, in good times and bad have had fancy state dinners.

Probably labelled "FORK - USE IN LEFT HAND" (if he remembers which hand that is)
