Wow, thank you for sharing your Twittergarbage with us, OP.

President Garfield was reportedly a difficult man to feed, as the only actual meal he cared for was squirrel soup. And no, that’s not a fun name for a delicious dessert-like monkey bread—it’s an actual soup made with squirrels. During his brief presidency, Garfield once gave a White House officer orders to hunt squirrels on the grounds, and the soup recipe even made the official White House Cookbook of 1887.

Wash and quarter three or four good sized squirrels; put them on, with a small tablespoonful of salt, directly after breakfast, in a gallon of cold water. Cover the pot close, and set it on the back part of the stove to simmer gently, not boil. Add vegetables just the same as you do in case of other meat soups in the summer season, but especially good will you find corn, Irish potatoes, tomatoes and Lima beans. Strain the soup through a coarse colander when the meat has boiled to shreds, so as to get rid of the squirrels' troublesome little bones. Then return to the pot, and after boiling a while longer, thicken with a piece of butter rubbed in flour. Celery and parsley leaves chopped up are also considered an improvement by many. Toast two slices of bread, cut them into dice one-half inch square, fry them in butter, put them into the bottom of your tureen, and then pour the soup boiling hot upon them. Very good.

That looks really refreshing but I just can’t get into cottage cheese, something about the texture. Google says James Buchanan was into sauerbraten which is awesome. Don’t feel like brining a roast now but I think I’m gonna do some schnitzel with red cabbage and egg noodles tomorrow. You think gypsy sauce would go well with it?

Ignoring the obnoxious online presentation, this was actually kind of interesting:

I used to have a fairly large collection of politicians eating food but they took it from me.

I tried the recepie, not bad. JFK had good taste outside of the "chowda' "

I really want to buy into /pol/s claims that the media treated him unfairly but when he does stuff like this I literally can't. You are a multi-billionaire with a shutdown staff and the best catering you can do is McDonald's and Wendy's.

>>17621184
>buying a bunch of college kids McDonald’s
What exactly is the problem here?

>>17621184
>and the best catering you can do is McDonald's and Wendy's.

The kids who were given that meal were probably pretty happy to be having fast food in the White house though. I really did not see a problem with this gesture. It was not excessive, it was not flamboyant or extravagant, and McD is practically comfort food for Americans anyway.

I, too, like to pretend to not understand things which I actually understand perfectly well.

I can see why they made this man President.

VP and possible future prez enjoys some Cincinnati flyover chili

You're a faggot. Trump bought that with his own money. The kenyan retard that was in the office before him spent $60,000 of tax payer money to have hotdogs and pizza brought to the white house.

>>17621184
Do you have any clue who we was “catering” that meal for?
Hint: they’re gonna love some fucking McDonald’s a lot more than a bunch of fancy shit they can’t pronounce.

The fact you’d automatically buy the fancy shit in that position “because billionaire” shows you’d be a lot more concerned with reminding everyone you’re a billionaire than giving your guests something they’d actually enjoy.

The look of absolute contempt on the faces of the soldiers for Biden

Anon theres nothing fancy about simply serving your guests a steak and some taters.
Also by the time the photo op was done that food was already cold.

Please, stop coping so hard and just accept that the guy did dumb shit sometimes.

Bbq seems to be a presidential favorite. That’s what JFK was going to eat after his flight from Dallas if he didn’t get domed. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. all had bbq too.

If i ever win the lottery, you can be damn sure i will rent out a high priced dining area and just order a shitton of mickey d's. That pres. was a true irl shitposter.

you’re bad at reading faces

>>17621249
>coping
Are you projecting? I’m talking about not needing to show off and you seem to be turning it into politics.
The fact is that the guests absolutely fucking enjoyed themselves. Why are you complaining when they didn’t?
>cold
As would be a giant pile of catered steaks, except it would be a much more expensive pile of cold food.

>>17621016
2016-2021 was so fucking kino

Common symptom of the ‘tism

Just been reading up on the western sanctions against Russian oligarchs, businesses and currency.
The only reason behind them as far as I can see is to make sure Trump can’t cheat again in the 2024 election like he did in 2016.

>>17621271
>anything I disagree with is <boogeyman>
The ironic punchline is your being totally blind to the fact that blaming everything you don’t like or disagree with on <boogeyman> is the most quintessentially /pol/ thing you can do. You’d fit right in.

Money can’t buy class I guess.

Food from the White House kitchen would be kept warm on buffet-style heating trays. Why do you choose to be like this?

>>17621184
Most of Americans eat fast food at least three times a week, including Trump. Including Obama.
I've never understood this attack on him because it's just so out of place with reality and just shows how disconnected you are with America that you think eating Mcdonalds is somehow "beneath" anyone.

>>17621310
Fuck the elite.

>If you don't order five star fine dining catering then your only option is McDonald's hockey puck burgers
Surely there were some better options in the DC area than this.
