What did the royal family serve at the banquet in honor of Donald Trump?

State banquet is the art of diplomacy at a luxurious table. A bright culmination of a state visit, a celebration sparkling with gold and crystal featuring speeches, royal toasts, fanfares, and exquisite dishes.

The British royal family made every effort to ensure the banquet left Donald Trump with an unforgettable impression.

The event took place in St. George's Hall at Windsor Castle - an interior that simultaneously evokes medieval feasts and scenes from Harry Potter films.

The staff was dressed in elegant uniforms, impeccably trained like soldiers on parade before the banquet. The placement of tableware was measured to the millimeter - a total of 1452 pieces for 160 guests, including five glasses and goblets for each person.

Guests were treated to dishes from a French menu:

Hampshire watercress panna cotta with parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad.

Norfolk chicken ballotine with zucchini and a spicy thyme-based sauce.

Vanilla ice cream with Kent raspberry sorbet and lightly poached Victoria plums.
