The National Post’s food and drink blog, the Appetizer, offers details on Barack Obama and Stephen Harper’s Canadian lunch.
Held in the Senate Speaker’s dining room on Parliament Hill, the menu included:
Pacific Coast tuna with a chilli and citrus vinaigrette
Maple and miso cured Nunavut Arctic char
Lightly pickled vegetables and an organic beet relish
Applewood smoked plains bison
Winter root vegetables and local mushrooms
Cauliflower and rosemary puree
Juniper and Niagara red wine jus
Saugeen yogurt pot de creme with a lemon and lavender syrup
Wild blueberry and partridgeberry compote
Acadian buckwheat honey and sumac tuile
Sounds delicious and very pan-Canadian. Sadly, despite environment being on the agenda, I doubt there will be much talk about food security. Ethanol though? You betcha!
