As you know, this is a food blog, and in honor of the Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America, I am writing about the Inaugural Luncheon. You can find the recipes in PDF format at the Inauguration Website.
The Menu:
First Course
Seafood Stew
paired with
Duckhorn Vinyards
2007 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
Second Course
A Brace of American Birds (Pheasant and Duck),
served with Sour Cherry Chutney and
Molasses Sweet Potatoes
paired with
Goldeneye
2005 Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley
Third Course
Apple Cinnamon Sponge Cake and Sweet Cream Glace
paired with
Korbel Natural "Special Inaugural Cuvee"
California Champagne
Sounds delicious! Well, except for the duck... I have never cared for duck, myself. It was interesting to note that the first Inaugural Luncheon was a more "Thanksgiving style" meal, comprised of South Carolina turkey, Smithfield Ham, potato salad, and pumpkin pie. The meal has since become quite gormet!
I hope you enjoy looking at the menu, and maybe even try a recipe or two!
