Cuisine Confusion

In his Commons Confidential diary for the BBC, Nick Assinder reports that at the Bush/Brown summit the Prime Minister Mr. Gordon Brown was served at dinner roast tenderloin of beef, mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans and peas with smoked bacon and mint followed by a dessert of brownies with caramel and vanilla sauce.

A photo accompanied the entry with the caption,
Gordon Brown has been served traditional US food
And this is the image:
Apparently, the BBC imagines that "roast tenderloin of beef, mashed potatoes, sautéed green beans and peas with smoked bacon and mint followed by a dessert of brownies with caramel and vanilla sauce" is indistinguishable from a sloppily made and what looks like ice-cold double cheeseburger.

You'd think they'd at least have rung Gordon Ramsey for a fact check.

We don't really need Gordon. Anybody can roll their eyes and call the Beeb 'effing tarts.

I'm surprised they didn't go whole hog and show a roast baby on a platter.

I think the US should declare the BBC a terrorist organization and cruise-missile Broadcast House.

Did you fucking miss this bit?

"The White House also revealed that Monday's lunch menu was classic American fare - cheeseburgers, French fries and onion rings, followed by banana pudding."
