Trumps will feed French president jambalaya 'cooked in a New Orleans tradition'
NOLA.com ^ | 4/23/2018 | Todd A. Price

On Tuesday night (April 23), President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will welcome Emmanuel Macron, president of France, and his wife, Brigitte, for the first state visit of the Trump administration.

According to a press release from the first lady's office, every aspect of the visit was "all carefully selected by First Lady Melania Trump, to complement and pay homage to the long-standing friendship between the United States and France."

Let's get to the most important matter: what are they eating?

The main course, we're happy to report, will include jambalaya, "which will be cooked in a New Orleans tradition and scented with the trinity of Cajun cooking -- celery, peppers, and onions, and spiced with herbs from the South Lawn."

Fingers crossed the White House chefs know to use green bell peppers.

The menu doesn't indicate if the jambalaya has sausage or seafood. Let's hope the Trumps' jambalaya isn't just a pilaf.

See the full menu below.

First Course: Goat Cheese Gateau, omato Jam, Buttermilk Biscuit Crumbles, Young Variegated Lettuces

Main Course: Rack of Spring Lamb, Burnt Cipollini Soubise, Carolina Gold Rice Jambalaya

Dessert: Nectarine Tart, Crème Fraîche Ice Cream

Oh yeah, read all of his books. I just finished the Saxxon series in December. Not a lot of time left in my day for reading but I got a library card when I saw my local library had them. GREAT story telling. Fascinating time in English history.

Yeah the Cromwell books are more action heroish. Obrian’s characters have very human failings while still being great story telling.

I’ve read most of the Saxon series. I’ve never read the Arthurian series. Thanks to your recommendation I am going to do that!

I watched a few episodes of the Uhtred series on TV...couldn’t get into it. It’s on Netflix now and may give it another go. None of the characters matched my imagination. I’ve read the books so many times I felt as if I knew them and these people were strangers.

Ho!

So glad to see spring lamb on the menu - Melania knows what’s what! And I hope it is American lamb.

I have some Carolina Gold Rice here - I haven’t yet learned all its tricks so it comes out a little gummy. Less stock, perhaps.

Seriously doubt there were Cajuns at the battle of New Orleans.

No such thing as jambalaya cooked in a New Orleans tradition.

Seeing as New Orleans was affiliated with both France and Spain, and The French Quarter is in New Orleans, New Orleans style Jambalaya (a mix of Spanish and French influence) seems appropriate.

"Yep - and the Cajuns brought some gunpowder to the party."

"We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind."

“Sharpe is a British television series (1993-97) of stories set during the Napoleonic wars starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, a fictional British soldier in the Napoleonic Wars. Sharpe is the hero of a number of novels by Bernard Cornwell; most, though not all, of the episodes are based on the books. Produced by Celtic Films and Picture Palace Films for the ITV network, the series was shot mainly in Crimea, a few episodes in Turkey, although some filming was also done in England, Portugal and Spain.”

I bought the set...came complete with a bayonet letter opener that I cut my hand on the first time I handled it. I didn’t expect it to be as sharp as a bayonet.

Have you watched “The Last Kingdom” TV series based on Cromwell’s Saxxon Stories featuring Uhtred of Bebbanburg? Both seasons are on Netflix, and it’s been renewed for a third.

Holy crap, I’m surprised they even put something like that in a DVD set because I’m assuming it was manufactured in Britain. It’s probably a collector’s item now.
