From the NEWS section: Obama’s Inaugural Lunch



Seafood Stew

Barack Obama was sworn in yesterday as the 44th President of the United States. As usual, the inaugural activities included parades, dances and one thing that particularly caught my eye: food.

The first course of the Inaugural Lunch included seafood stew filled with lobster, scallops, shrimp and cod. The main course included duck and pheasant served with cherry chutney and molasses sweet potatoes.

Only 230 guests were lucky enough to enjoy what I’m sure was a delicious meal.
