A report says that President Donald Trump and his family were not served any romaine lettuce during their Thanksgiving dinner. U.S. health officials have warned that romaine has been linked to an outbreak of E. coli that has left about three dozen people sickened in several states.

The White House told NBC News that the menu at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, included Caesar salad, but it had no romaine. Romaine is the typical base of Caesar salad.

I heard the 9th Circuit Court struck this down, no?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I’m surprised the LSM didn’t lie and state Russian dressing.

[17th Miss Regt]

When in Rome, do as the Romaines do.

Does he know what a vegetable is?

Every time I see a picture of him eating, it’s either steak or McDonalds.

A non-news story.

Romaine should be served to all libs. Might get them cleaned out.

Who eats lettuce on Thanksgiving?

[bigbob]

Or anytime?

[Husker24]

Good point, lettuce is what food eats.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They’re obviously full of it...

[unixfox]

Funny we never heard any such stories when Obozo was in office.

[RooRoobird20]

This is news? Seriously LOL! Slow day for the Rat media......

Not if it consists of provisional lettuce leaves. Then they must be counted and recounted.

[TigerClaws]

Farm workers sh@t in the fields where they are working.

Another illness outbreak to thank migrants for.

[subterfuge]

Lettuce is a garnish. Not really meant to be eaten.

[V K Lee]

A turkey sandwich is not the same w/o lettuce and tomato to adorn it. Slather bread with mayo, a little salt, potato chips, and dig in. (Note to self: pick up loaf of Wonder Bread!)

[Robert DeLong]

Sarah Sorscher, deputy director of regulatory affairs at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said running water over the lettuce can't ensure that harmful germs are killed. Even scrubbing with baking soda or vinegar won't do the trick.

Why? Because bacteria can get stuck in "microscopic crevices," James Rogers, director of Food Safety and Research at Consumer Reports, has said.

The purpose for lettuce is to allow you to eat a half cup of salad dressing without the shame of drinking it directly from the bottle.
