In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled My notes on New York Times article: "Inside Biden’s State Dinner: Hot Dog Talk and a Party That Lasted Until 1 A.M." by Katie Rogers on 12/02/2022, ransomnote wrote: Look at the title of the article again: Inside Biden’s State Dinner: Hot Dog Talk and a Party That Lasted Until 1 A.M.
Okay I'll just say it. I think they served Macron hot dogs. Don’t look at me that way! It’s all there. It’s in the title of the Article! Hot Dogs!
Biden was supposed to act like it was normal to serve the French President hot dogs, so Pelosi’s daughter was told to ask him what’s the most American foods and he dutifully listed hot dogs, ice cream and spaghetti.
That’s why Pelosi piped up, “Oh yes, I have them everyday...”
That’s why Macron was bewildered. That's why the head table was discussing hot dogs during a state visit.
That’s why the smarmy Ambassador flitted around, watching Macron carefully to ensure that he enjoyed his meal, especially the “selection of American cheeses and triple-cooked butter potatoes”.
See, I thought it was odd Gifford worried that Macron would enjoy the cheeses and potatoes - no mention of the main meal. It’s like obsessing over the croutons and salad dressing and failing to mention the filet mignon or something that is difficult to prepare.
And triple-cooked butter potatoes? Now, are those instant mashed potatoes? It could be if Brandon’s going to claim that he wanted to show Macron the most popular American foods like hotdogs, ice cream etc. -if that’s ever revealed he can pander to middle America. “What’s good enough for our people is good enough for foreign heads of state”
Was the food late because vendors had to deliver them? Lackies had to steam them and they'd never prepared food on that scale before? :)
I mean - my hotdog theory makes more sense than the article as it stands!
It explains why Biden was said to be discussing sausages with Macron later.
Why else put ‘hot dogs’ in the article title?
Why else find it newsworthy, after 2 years of public shame, to describe Biden as a man of uncomplicated tastes?
The writer of the article seemed depressed and maybe it was because she couldn’t tell the public that the first State Dinner of the Biden administration was served in a tent at night in freezing temperatures, was poorly organized, served hot dogs and mashed potatoes etc.!!!!
The article says the venue served American brut rosé and chardonnay, and if hotdogs were served, likely beer, iced tea, Coke and lemonade.
Adding to my prior post.
Okay, the Internetz says thrice baked potatoes are ‘fancy baked potatoes’. So the Ambassador was worried about Macron’s satisfaction with fancy baked potatoes and American cheeses.

✈️ — Good evening everyone! Especially those who are at Santos Dumont Airport, in Rio de Janeiro at dawn on December 4, 2022.😴
This is getting more and more weird.
One would think, so soon after laundering $100+ Billion through the Ukraine, that the commies would be better able to fake a state dinner ...
... unless every transfer of the laundered Billions keep getting snagged somewhere along the wires.
Sounds like someone completely forgot to arrange for a state dinner! Staffing problems perhaps.
