U.S. President Barack Obama is in Ottawa enjoying a brief visit with our Prime Minister Stephen Harper. While Barack Obama will only spend about 6 hours in Canada before boarding Air Force One back to Washington D.C., he will make time to enjoy a decadent lunch at the Senate Speaker's quarters in the Parliament Buildings.

What is on the lunch menu for Mr. Obama?

* Pacific Coast tuna with a chilli and citrus vinaigrette
* Maple and miso cured Nunavut Arctic char
* Lightly pickled vegetables and an organic beet relish
* Applewood smoked plains bison
* Winter root vegetables and local mushrooms
* Cauliflower and rosemary puree
* Juniper and Niagara red wine jus
* Saugeen yogurt pot de creme with a lemon and lavender syrup
* Wild blueberry and partridgeberry compote
* Acadian buckwheat honey and sumac tuile

A dizzying array of seasonal wintery Canadian flavours! That Maple and miso cured Arctic char makes me salivate. Hopefully we don't have a recurrence of the Inauguration Luncheon and nobody faints at this one :-)
