Presidential Sweet Potatoes at Obama Luncheon

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: May 18, 2022 · published: Jan 20, 2009 · About 1 minute to read this article. 4 Comments


Lets hear it for the now Presidential Sweet Potato.

The only veggie to make headline billing on the 2009 President Obama Luncheon menu.

Sour Cherry Chutney also made the menu.

I wasn't too pleased by the lack of *vegetarian options available* side note. But oh well. Yay for the molasses sweet potatoes...
