Bison – It's what's for dinner! From the White House regarding the State Dinner menu: The President and Mrs. Obama will host Prime Minister David Cameron and Mrs. Cameron for a State Dinner this evening. The State Dinner will be held in a tent on the South Lawn of the White House. White House Executive Chef Cris Comerford and White House Executive Pastry Chef William Yosses have carefully constructed the evening’s menu using local ingredients, including produce grown in the White House Kitchen Garden. A Winter Harvest Dinner: The United Kingdom State Dinner takes its inspiration from the Kitchen Garden’s late winter harvest and some early spring greens, which chefs harvested the day before the dinner. The White House Kitchen Garden uses hoop houses—simple metal frames covered by plastic tarps—to grow produce throughout the winter months. During the day, the plastic traps heat from the sun, and at night that heat protects plants from freezing temperatures. Using this method, produce thrives in the White House Kitchen Garden throughout the year.
Second Course
Main Course
Dessert
An American wine will be paired with each course.
The Main Course, Bison Wellington, is a perfect pairing of US and UK cultures. The Wellington is a classic English dish given an The dessert is Steamed Lemon Pudding, a nod to the traditional British treat. The pudding is prepared with Idaho Huckleberry Sauce to unite the British and American flavors. At the bottom of the pudding are Newtown Pippin Apples, which are believed to have been developed in Queens, New York in the early-18th century, and were grown by Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Newtown Pippin Apples serve as a symbol of the American-British partnership—the apple was so favored by Queen Victoria that she had the customs duty on them eliminated. |

This is the reward NDSU Bison football team gets for winning the national title? Being turned into Wellington? Oh, the humanity.
I GUESS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO SUBSTITUTE ALL THE BULL OBAMA HAS BEEN DISHING OUT TO AMERICA !!!
What! Are there no Trolls out there to bash Obama for eating?
No we do as we're told eat our peas.
Wow! A trollette! How refreshing!
I love Bison. I also find it sadly ironic that Obama, who wants to grow the bloated federal government so much, wants to serve the animal its predecessor in the 1880s tried to exterminate in order to crush the native American Indian population.
NO! He can eat all he wishes...and then back to chicago where he belongs. hahaha
Third fluff piece in a row from CNN. Who cares what Obama eats? After he's had his fill and enjoyed the entertainment gas will still be $4 a gallon. Only kool-aid drinkers want to hear this type of "reporting".
Your ignorance is showing. Menus for state dinners are almost always covered by media.
Spongebob hasnt moved far from the pineapple HA
It is great that our President is acting presidential by entertaining the Prime Minister and other members of Great Britain. . I just wish I could be a fly on the wall.
First the White man devestates my ancestores food supply now their greasy president lends a hand.
When will all you people give it up on the gas prices? The gas prices are not controlled by the U.S. Government - they are established as a result of the decisions mad by the oil cartel.
So how come the democrats/liberals blamed Pres.Bush 24/7 for high prices. Remember Pelosi that's all she could talk about.
How many of the people, if any, are middleclass tax paying citizens?
I love bison and have gotten to the point where I prefer it to beef.
good to see all the stuff coming from the w,h, garden. This way the trolls can.t complaine about the cost. Oh wait these creeps will find something. Obama 2012
Got to suck up to the britts eh? Is obammy going to give the original 13 colonies back to britain?
He's giving it to Native Americans.They're going back in a time machine and throw all"your"ancesters out.
No pink slime on the menu...that's for school lunches...
The State Dinner menus are always posted for public viewing.
The desperation of the pathetic sheep following the Republican herd is obvious when they resort to bashing what the menu is of a state dinner. Perhaps if the Republicans spent more of their energy trying to thwart the implosion of their own party, you'd have a better chance aof changing the administration in 2012. But I suppose that's just too obvious. Stick with flailing your arms about saying nothing.
Obama 2012!
