Geez, can I eat there?

While Michelle Malkin poo-poos the notion, the new 'green' menu at the House of Representatives sounds pretty damn good to Rico:
Old menu:
– Salad bars with canned and conventional vegetables, iceberg lettuce and processed ranch dressing
– Conventional beef hamburgers with processed cheese, often served cold
– A special fried food bar
– Soggy vegetables drowning in butter
– Barbecue with corn and coleslaw
– Custards, pies, and cakes with fake whipped cream toppings
– French fries (known under Republican rule as “freedom fries”)
– Plastic and styrofoam containers

New menu:
– Composed salad tossed to order, with choice of seasonal vegetables and proteins with house-made vinaigrette over a warm grilled focaccia bread
– Roasted chicken with fire-roasted tomatoes and goat cheese
– Cedar-plank wild salmon with apple cilantro relish
– Seared barramundi (fish), white beans, and tomatoes with thyme
– Smoked salmon, roasted beets, and arugula
– Steamed broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sage roasted butternut squash, herb couscous
– Samplings from Indian, Chinese, Greek, Moroccan, and Mexican cuisines
– Locally-made Gifford’s Ice Cream from a 70-year-old Washington institution
