On Tuesday night (April 23), President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will welcome Emmanuel Macron, president of France, and his wife, Brigitte, for the first state visit of the Trump administration.
According to a press release from the first lady's office, every aspect of the visit was "all carefully selected by First Lady Melania Trump, to complement and pay homage to the long-standing friendship between the United States and France."
Let's get to the most important matter: what are they eating?
The main course, we're happy to report, will include jambalaya, "which will be cooked in a New Orleans tradition and scented with the trinity of Cajun cooking -- celery, peppers, and onions, and spiced with herbs from the South Lawn."
Fingers crossed the White House chefs know to use green bell peppers.
The menu doesn't indicate if the jambalaya has sausage or seafood. Let's hope the Trumps' jambalaya isn't just a pilaf.
See the full menu below.
First Course: Goat Cheese Gateau, omato Jam, Buttermilk Biscuit Crumbles, Young Variegated Lettuces
Main Course: Rack of Spring Lamb, Burnt Cipollini Soubise, Carolina Gold Rice Jambalaya
Dessert: Nectarine Tart, Crème Fraîche Ice Cream

In before the cries of “Cultural Appropriation”.
[The menu doesn’t indicate if the jambalaya has sausage or seafood. Let’s hope the Trumps’ jambalaya isn’t just a pilaf.]
Well, considering that it’s going to be served with lamb, I would imagine sausage and seafood would NOT be included in the dish...
Yum!
The other article said Lamb Chops w Carolina Rice and French Grapes grown in Oregon.
What? No crawdads?
Wonder if Michelle planted those herbs....
I don’t see jambalaya on the menu. And since Andy Jackson whipped some French butt in Naw’lins, is Cajun food appropriate? Just getting in before the liberal media figures it out.
Personally, I’d serve him Muslim food so he’d feel at home.
South Carolina gold rice.
Start the cries of plantation/slavery related micro-aggression in 10-9-8...

Miss M, I hope you sent Melania your lamb recipe.
You can’t have Crumbles without Crumbs (H/T to Qanon)
Andy Jackson whipped English butts at Nawlins.
“Personally, Id serve him Muslim food so hed feel at home.”
Thanks for the laugh. Well done.
Actually, it was British Butt that got whipped at Chalmette. And a "Frenchman," the pirate Jean Lafitte and his men were a key part of the American defense, so yes it is appropriate.
“Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
For tonight, I’m-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o”
"...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand."
"You ate what?"
"We ate sand."
"You ate SAND?"
"That's right!"
>>scented with the trinity of Cajun cooking — celery, peppers, and onions,
No okra?
All will be well unless the Soup Nazi serves the jambalaya.
Where the heck do you get good nectarines this time of year? Plus lamb sucks. Should be serving BEEF! A “scent” of the trinity? The trinity, especially in jambalaya, should be savored and swallowed and should add depth to the meal...
