What, no black beans and rice? Here’s the menu for the Obama-Castro state dinner in Havana
The Cuban government hosted a state dinner for President Barack Obama and other U.S. government officials Monday evening at the Palace of the Revolution.
Each table had the printed menu — and it didn’t look anything like Versailles or La Carreta. Not even a croqueta:
Shrimp mousse under kisch supreme with cream of mojito;
golden cream soup flavored with Caney rum accompanied by slivers of ham;
Traditional pork garnished with baby tamales with plantain chips;
Trio of Grandmother's sweets.
