Palmer's dish featured barley topped with roasted mushrooms, plus a tomato salad with corn and zucchini slices.
This year marked the first time ever that the gala's menu was totally plant-based. According to a press release, Samuelsson brought in 10 New York-based chefs to create a menu around the party's theme, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."
Fariyal Abdullahi, Nasim Alikhani, Emma Bengtsson, Lazarus Lynch, Junghyun Park, Erik Ramirez, Thomas Raquel, Sophia Roe, Simone Tong and Fabian von Hauske were the chefs selected.
Fashion's biggest night featured hors d'oeuvres like collard greens with hot chow served on coconut buttermilk cornbread, black rice porcini arancini with pumpkin Calabrian chili sauce, and watermelon tart with smoked yuzu soy on a panipuri cracker.
The seated portion of the meal began with a salad featuring farm-to-table ingredients, followed by the creamy barley with corn, pickled turnips, and roasted maitake, and later, apple mousse and apple confit with a calvados glaze.
The Met Gala went plant-based because "we thought it was important to really talk about what's present, what's happening - how food is changing in America," Samuelsson told Bon Appetit in August.
He added, "We want to be the future of American food, of plant-based food. That conversation is happening now."

Any chance they’ll all starve to death?
I might have liked it - I’m not much of a meat eater.
But I bet it was a disappointment to all those fake ‘greenies’ who, in their personal lives, enjoy Wagyu beef, caviar, etc.
The people we’re losing to are eating this garbage.
The picture of the food is indeed rather unappetizing.
And they all went home and had a steak.
Graze grass for food and use windmills for electricity.
Just let that odor waft around a few of the tables...
.
It looks like a school lunch. Nasty
What the hell? I don’t see a plate. Do our betters just slap the food right down on the table top?
Animals.
School lunches were more edible than that plate of lawn clippings.
You know they all got hambugers someplace afterwards to tide them over until they got a real breakfast the following morning.
Zackly.
Get rid of the corn and the barley, add a big juicy steak and add a big hunk of butter and you got a great Keto meal. That would suite me fine.
Oh, and a double Wild Turkey on the rocks.
My blood sugar would hardly bump.
off to the Standard (one of a few afterparties) after changing costumes for afterparty canapes with a bit more substance, and more cocktails, and a Vogue photoshoot, then back to the room and 24hr room service
What the hell is a Keke Palmer? Any relation to Rosie Palmer?
lol
Such wit shall not go unacknowledged!
Preview of what’s to come on the dinner menu in the communist dystopia these sophists pine for.
