After Barack Obama takes the inaugural oath of office and delivers his address, he and Vice President Joe Biden and other members of his team will do lunch. It’s a tradition-laden affair, held in the gorgeous Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol, and has sparked a lot of interest. Here’s a look at the Abraham Lincoln-inspired menu:
First, a seafood stew. The main course, pheasant and duck served with sour cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes. As for dessert, the Obama lunch will end with an apple-cinnamon sponge cake topped with sweet cream glace.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the committee hosting the lunch, made sure that all the wines will be from California, including the champagne served with dessert.
