World Leaders Eating While Rome (And Everywhere Else) Burns?
This weekend EU officials met with representatives from developing nations to conclude a G-20 summit focused on how the economy will affect the world's poorest.
What was on the dinner menu? According to MSNBC:
Fruitwood-smoked Quail with Quince Gastrique; Quinoa Risotto; Landmark Chardonnay “Damaris Reserve” 2006; Thyme-roasted Rack of Lamb, Tomato, Fennel and Eggplant Fondue; Chanterelle Jus; Shafer Cabernet “Hillside Select” 2003; Lolla Rosa, Red Oak and Endive; Cider Vinaigrette; Baked Vermont Brie with Walnut Crostini; Pear Torte; Huckleberry Sauce; Chandon Étoile Rosé.
Said one commenter: "Leaders are only at the G-20 Summit for the meal."
Here's the question of the day, serious eaters. Should our world leaders be chowing down on such fancypants fare in the midst of the global financial tsunami?
