King crab, Wagyu beef medallions, and foie gras were on the menu for President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un when they dined together on Wednesday night.

The five-course menu was inspired by traditional Vietnamese cuisine, and was served at Hanoi's Metropole Hotel at 7:00 p.m. local time (7:00 a.m. ET.)

Before the leaders sat down to eat, Trump Kim met one-on-one for 20 minutes.

Read somewhere that at the last meeting, none of the Norks ate anything. Afraid that it may be poisoned.

...people have better dental structure nowadays. Back in the olden days mush and mushy offal was probably trendy because you could gum it.

Bird liver is very tasty. But this kind is made by cruelly stuffing and sickening the birds.

I’m going to try Wagyu beef one of these days. Last I checked Costco had steaks for about $100/lb
