President Trump and dozens of guests at his Mar-a-Lago resort dined on traditional Thanksgiving fare Thursday, but also nibbled on several seafood dishes that reflected Trump’s “southern White House” in Florida.
The White House menu, according to pool reporters on-site there, was:
“Full salad bar including Caesar, wedge, tomato/mozzarella, and Greek salads, deviled eggs, and duck prosciutto & melon.
Chilled seafood display w Florida stone crab, oysters, jumbo shrimp, and clams.
A carving station with turkey and all the trimmings, beef tenderloin, lamb and salmon.
Entrees of Chilean Sea bass, Red Snapper, Braised short ribs. Sides include whipped potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables and traditional stuffing.”
The pool left out any mouth-watering description of the several pies available and listed only “Assorted desserts.”
The report out of Florida added that no romaine lettuce was on the menu, given this week’s fear that lettuce was found in several states to be contaminated with E. coli.
