Perfect.

Steamed Halibut with watercress sauce.
Saddle of Lamb stuffed and spring vegetables.
Strawberry sable with lemon verbena cream.
Fresh fruit
Coffee with petit fours.

Chateau Lafitte £1400 per bottle.

The menu of last night's dinner at Buckingham Palace.

The Brits do it well.

Lucky president. A true royal experience.

[andy-hughes]

Apart from the fruit and coffee, there is nothing there I would want to eat or drink - so good job I wasn't asked, I hate to upset people!

[Bazile]

What - no burgers ?

[retrocop]

The chateau Laffite was wasted on the President.
I believe he does’nt imbibe. Diet Pepsi would of reached the spot.

[wolf63]

I thought that my Pepsi Max addiction was expensive at £1.10 per bottle, I drink two a day.

Chateau Lafitte £1400 per bottle - that is scary.

[spathiphyllum]

I know seeing that price on a bill would make me Chateau me pants.

[Mamyalynne]

Classic and tasty, serve me up a portion, yum.

[Sqad]

retro......I think that he will toast with champagne on ceremonial occasions.

[Ken4155]

And i had to make do with a cockroach flambe starter, then spiders on toast washed down by a cup of water from my fish tank :-(
Well, i say i "had to make do" but, to be honest i chose that over T-Bone steak, stuffed mushrooms, egg and chips, washed down with a glass or two of Mateus Rose.

[Ken4155]

They could have given him something that cost £1.40 a bottle. He wouldn't have known the difference :-)

[pastafreak]

It sounds like a very traditional, and very ,lovely meal.

But £1,400 a bottle is seriously scarey.

[Ken4155]

I'll bet he asked for the ketchup.

[aelmpvw]

wot no chips?

[Lie-in King]

Droooool...

[Bazile]

I was invited but i declined ,when i heard they were serving Chateau Lafitte , instead of ,Romanee-Conti

[237SJ]

I wouldn`t be mad on steamed halibut. I would prefer it pan fried.

[Cloverjo]

I’d just have the lamb and the wine, thanks.
In fact I do have a hankering for lamb right now.

[ichkeria]

Why did they have to stump up for the champagne if the food was free ...

I have to say that menu doesn’t thrill me either but then what menu in the world is going to please everyone.

I’m just glad no one went hungry ...

[elliemay1]

Would love to taste the wine to see if it is 100 times better than a £14 bottle!

[ichkeria]

Wine not champagne. Whatever
You can tell I’m no expert :-)
