First lady Melania Trump’s menu for the state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte was described as “froo-froo [sic] garbage” by a conservative pundit, who suggested the fare was out of touch.
In a tweet, Erick Erickson mocked the menu selected by Melania—who eschewed an event planner in favor of organizing the occasion herself—which included a rack of lamb and jambalaya...
This menu is why I could never be President: http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/384422-first-lady-releases-menu-details-for-macrons-state-visit … I'd serve fried chicken and mashed potatoes with sweet potato pie for dessert. None of this unpronounceable froo-froo garbage.

And the veggies, served as part of the dessert ( green peppers, tomatoes, and something else ) were dipped in chocolate!
The question of why Erick Erickson could never be president has kept me up at night for years. Now I can finally get some sleep.
There has to be some good way to cook it, or when the Lord instructed the Israelites to observe the Passover with it, they would have said what kind of stunt are You trying to pull on us, God?
It was great, both France and Louisiana were honored.
Many people have less than NO idea how to cook lamb of any kind. So I bet you would like it IF you had lamb cooked correctly. :-)
Hey Erik, Baaaaaa Baaaaaa Baaaaa to you!
Yes, yes it is. :-)
I’m being silly of course ma’am.
Green pepper dipped in chocolate. I have to give points just for the unique idea. What the execution was like, that could be something else. Was it bell pepper or jalapeno?
And getting it to even stick to tomato? Or was that like cherry tomatoes?
I could see it, done right. On the exact right kind of green pepper and tomatoes. Otherwise the flavor clash would be like, gross.
So true.
This Clown use to be a regular stand in for Rush? or maybe one of the other major Radio Conservative Talk Show Hosts. Like I said use to be, haven’t heard the douche in So. Cal in a long time. Maybe I have missed him as I only listen to Radio while driving which is less and less these days.

He’s insane.
It was a staunchly pro-American meal with traces of French cuisine.
American spring lamb which more Americans should be eating - it is delicious; Carolina Gold Rice, a long lost rice from slave times brought back in small batches (I have two pounds in my pantry); jambalaya, a very American dish from Louisiana that has roots in Spain and France.
Elegant, simple and very American.
Fat Erick is a fat fool.
Does anyone except Erick Erickson give a crap about anything said by Erick Erickson.
Both men shared a toast over what looks like a glass of white wine.
Gold-adorned vessels complimented the ornate candlestick holders located on the head table.
During speeches, the lights were dimmed to put focus on the presenters.
Thanks to the tall white candlesticks, this created a romantic vibe.
Enormous arrangements of sweet peas and white lilacs served as the centerpieces for the tables, while 1,200 cherry blossoms were displayed in the Cross Hall.
I do remember that show. But it was an Iron Chef America competition. White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford and her teammate Chef Bobby Flay defeated Chefs Emeril Lagasse and Mario Batali.
He hasn’t subbed for Rush in a very long time. Rush knows better than to put Erick Erickson on again.
Self righteous Eric, the Shriek of NeverTrump, is a very small man.
Let Eric eat cake.
I honestly don’t know how to react to Eric Erickson criticising Melania Trump’s event planning skills. Who asked him? Is he applying for the job?? I’m now stuck with an image of Eric Erickson trying to squeeze his butt into one of Melania’s dresses and tottering around on spiky high heels.
Jambalaya is hard to do wrong even from a mix. From scratch, who is he calling froo froo?
Feed him some gateau.
