White House State Dinners

Again and again with this aspic shit.

Did anyone actually like eating gelatin with cold meat in it?

It vanished from WH menus thanks to the Clintons.

Least we forget Mamie Eisenhower's fabulous canned potatoes. Jackie Kennedy freaked out when she found hundreds of cans in the White House pantry... "What the fuck am I going to do with all these potatoes?"

" Dragon fighting tiger" which was a skinned cat and python. WTF were they thinking?!🤮

Was veal cheap in the 80s? The Reagans sure served a lot of it.

Sweet corn and tequila ice cream sounds vile🤮

I can’t decide if George W. Bush’s food was subversive or just lazy.

The 80s were when people starting learning how cruel veal production is. The Reagans were my first fuck your feelings president.

She ended up giving it to food banks for those on assistance.

I’d love to know who was there to report on Jackie‘s foul language regarding her discovery of Mamie‘s canned potatoes.

@r9, "She ended up giving it to food banks for those on assistance."

And the "Jackie on Assistance" name was born 😂

@r10, "I’d love to know who was there to report on Jackie‘s foul language regarding her discovery of Mamie‘s canned potatoes."

"That old cunt with the bangs wouldn't even offer me a wheelchair a week after my C-section when I toured the White House. I wanted to shove those canned potatoes up her ass" 😠

Were you meant to eat the aspic, or cut it open and just eat whatever was inside?

JFK's favorite dish was Sautéed Cerveaux.

[QUOTE]Least we forget Mamie Eisenhower's fabulous canned potatoes.

Don't forget the fairy toast. We discussed one of her state dinners on the late, great "Mamie Eisenhower's low hangers" thread. We were WTF? It's as awful as it sounds. I can't remember which dignitary was visiting.

Apt.

@r15, It was King Paul and Queen Frederika of Greece. It surprised it didn't cause a international incident...

Why didn't they serve Mamie's Million Dollar Fudge?

Thanks, r18. I did a quick search and couldn't find it. I thought it may have been for royalty (which makes it better) but leaned toward QEII. I was so taken aback by the fairy toast I forgot the other abominations on the menu.

Saltine Crackers (were they fancy back then?)

White Fish in Cheese Sauce

Crown Roast of Lamb Stuffed With Spanish Rice with mint jelly

Braised Celery

Orange and Roquefort Cheese Salad Bowl with French Dressing

A lot of the items suggest picnic. Coleslaw and Boston Brown Bread Sandwiches. Why, Mamie, why?

Truman served ham, potato balls, and pickled watermelon to then Princess Elizabeth.

Nixon drank Chateau Margaux while serving his guests hobo swill. The bottle was concealed by a napkin.

DataLounge never fails to dig up amazing facts.

You left the best part out, r21. Lobster thermidor was also on the menu. How clashy. (not said in Liza voice)

Number of state dinners has decreased

for those who have a lot of time, watch the arrivals at the latest dinner... including Bezos' slutty dinner guest.

Reminds me of this classic.

All the reporters crowd to see Bill and Hill at 41:20. Some of these women needed to have had a lesson on what to wear to a state dinner.

Are you referring to Hillary's caftan? We loved it on the other thread.

No, Hillary's caftan was fine. Two women had their boobs hanging out. A couple were wearing cocktail dresses and others just displayed no taste in fashion.

Quelle surprise

Nice to see gay male couples in attendance.

No lesbian couples?

I finally read theOP's (looong) article and r22 was not joking as I'd thought.

bump

that is truly an exhaustive resource

Chasten will step in to plan the Harris state dinners. Mississippi pot roast and Jello cake!

Will he wear earrings?

Will he wear caftans?
