World Leaders Pig Out

What kind of people discuss global food crisis over an 18-course meal? Oh, that’s right, certain world leader do that during an annual G8 summit in Japan.
How farked up is that?
At least the menu looks mostly nutritious, no corn syrup there. “Milk-fed lamb flavored with herbs and mustard, and roast lamb flavored with cepes and black truffle” is something I would go with.
But who came up with candied fruits and vegetables? Candied vegetables? That sounds disgusting! And what is up with the vinegar jelly? Is it a new take on the notorious vinegar shots? I can already see neatly packaged vinegar jelly cups with weight loss claims on them. Let’s hope it does not spread in Hollywood as the new way to lose weight.
And corn and caviar? That is an interesting pairing, I guess, but foie gras is curiously missing from the menu. What is the matter, is there a global shortage of foie gras? Now, that would be tragic. [via]
