Damn that menu is good!

[txnativegop]

why do people make such a big deal about what is served at these things.

we all know it will be over priced, paid for by us, and as memorable as an ordinary day.

you have to eat, no need to make a long winded production out of it.

as for US cuisine, have it hot for dinner at night and cold for breakfast the next morning (THINK ABOUT THAT before you post) It is true and you all know it!

Seems almost like a rockstar type menu when it came to the sweets course; ‘the Dear Leader would like French Vanilla ice cream from Haagen-Dazs. The chef may make an accompaniment to be enjoyed with it.’

If it’s not something like that, they’re just lazy and didn’t want to make their own ice cream.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Maybe Donald will let him have TWO scoops of ice cream...in the name of international peace, of course

[nickedknack]

Meanwhile, in the DPRK, where 40% of the population are starving and an even larger percentage are infested with parasites, the unwashed masses are dining on rock confit and braised dirt.

First thing PDJT should have done when he was alone with Fat Boy? Stabbed him through the eye and into the brain with his fountain pen.

That would’ve solved nothing. Have some faith in our president that he knows what he’s doing.

[Windflier]

I’m a little disappointed. Nothing on that menu seems distinctly American to me.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

No grits?

[Beowulf9]

Beef covfefe?

[jonrick46]

Vanilla ice cream with Cherry Coulis.

[GnuThere]

Rocket Man will like the short rib confit. In NK it would take a lot of dogs to produce that.

[Windflier]

No grits?

Or fried chicken! How about some down home Texas barbeque with baked beans and potato salad?

Sheesh!

[dforest]

Bada Bing, Bada Boom.

“as for US cuisine, have it hot for dinner at night and cold for breakfast the next morning (THINK ABOUT THAT before you post) It is true and you all know it!”

Think-Thank-THUNK...I tried but best I could muster was something between “Hot On the Left-Cold On the Right” and “Overpriced and Over there”.
Thinking some dearth of malls up North, wonder if NoKo staff, with Boss’s needs list in hand, went on some secret-magical-mystery shopping expedition. They may need the Air China 747 to haul the loot home.

and wondered why a Korean dessert had not been included.

Because the participants wanted something both sides would enjoy! Not something you would have to paste a smile on your face while eating. And coulis is just cherry sauce, right out of the jar.

A creation of famed French chef Pierre Hermes, in Saint-Tropez, the "Tarte Tortizienne"
can be a pick-me-up or, a snack, sometimes bought as a miniature from a local pâtisserie.....
it emanates from a town once known for its wild and crazy ways.

[Liz]

Korean stuffed cucumbers.......spicy if stuffed with kimchi.

A dish carnivores like Donald may have to force down.

Cant have world peace without chocolate.

Ganache tart.
